Top 10 NXT prospects for main roster debuts in 2017

#4 Bobby Roode

What an impact this guy made on his debut at Takeover! You could see in Bobby’s eyes that he was grateful to be inside the yellow ropes and he certainly deserved to be there as well.

Bobby Roode is not someone who can afford to be an NXT experiment very long at nearly 40 years old, with a tonne of top level experience under his belt.

To be completely honest, Roode could be sent up right now. He has the presence and skill level to be a main eventer right away. With such a stacked roster on both Raw and Smackdown though, the options are unlimited for this former world champion.

Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.

Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.

Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.

When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
