5) Booby Roode Picked Up The Win (And Received An Awesome Reaction From The Crowd)
If you had any doubt about Bobby Roode translating on the WWE main roster, it was pretty clear in his debut that he is going to be just fine. Roode defeated Aiden English in his main roster debut after an impressive performance. The crowd was very loud throughout the match and I don’t think it could have went better for him.
They really made him feel like a star and his future looks promising on the brand:
Bobby Roode is a mega star. Has everything you want in a WWE Superstar, especially for Vince’s likings #SDLive
