Bobby Roode vs. Tye Dillinger
Bobby Roode and his glorious entrance music might be a hit with the NXT faithful, but Tye Dillinger isn’t a fan. The Perfect ten got burned by Roode with they tried to tag together in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. When Dillinger was struggling against Sanity, Bobby chose to bail instead of tagging in, leaving Tye to take the loss by himself.
This is a battle between two talented wrestlers with very fun gimmicks and is a strong contender to start the show. The crowd will get very excited to do the “10” hand gestures with Dillinger as well as sing alone with Roode’s music. Plus, both wrestlers hail from Canada, so they will have the hometown favour.
This is a tough one to call because if this turns out to be an extended rivalry, then it could go either way. However, with babyface Nakamura holding the NXT Championship, then it would benefit that brand more to keep the heel here strong. Roode should win and could see himself in the title picture sooner than later.
Winner: Bobby Roode
