Should stay in NXT: Roderick Strong

Enter caption

The King of the backbreaker is a versatile and exciting wrestler, capable of having good matches in almost any style against anyone.

If you look at the impressive list of titles he's accrued during his career, you'll see that Strong is one of the best, most respected in-ring workers on the planet. Strong has been the PWG world champion, as well as holding the tag team titles in that promotion. He is a former Ring of Honor world heavyweight champion as well and held both the world tag team titles and the world television title as well. In fact, he's held over thirty championships!

The only problem with Strong is that he's very wrestling-centric. His whole persona and character are caught up in how insanely talented he is. That's a perfect fit for NXT, but on the main roster he could end up lost in the shuffle. Strong should remain in NXT while his Undisputed Era cohorts move on, leaving him as the dominant technical wrestler on the brand.
