Ready to move up to the main roster #3: Roderick Strong

Roderick Strong has been wrestling for almost twenty years, and in that time has racked up twenty-two championship reigns, including wins at PWG, where he was the world champion.

The longtime ROH stalwart made his WWE debut for the NXT brand, but he has also filled in on 205 Live and for NXT UK. This is because Roddy is one of the most versatile, skilled, and adaptive wrestlers on the planet.

In terms of technical ability, Strong is one of the best out there in terms of execution and depth of move set. He's also an underrated promo man and has the classic good looks of a babyface wrestler. His term with the Undisputed Era seems to be coming to an end, so what should be next for Roddy?

Why he should move up to the main roster: Roderick Strong is a veteran on the cusp of becoming a ring general and has developed into one of the top ten in-ring performers in WWE, if not all of wrestling. If WWE wants to mix things up on their programming as is their stated goal, they need look no further than Roderick Strong.
