#1 A Glorious return to NXT for Robert Roode

The IT Factor would be the ideal choice for NXT

There are very few WWE Superstars, regardless of the brand, that can keep up with someone like Robert Roode. The former NXT Champion is nearly in a league of his own when it comes to that in-ring presence and tactical thinking. After all, it's what earned him the title in the first place when he defeated Shinsuke Nakamura years ago.

Shortly after losing the NXT Championship to Drew McIntyre, Robert Roode was moved to the main roster. There, he bounced around a bit between RAW and SmackDown, capturing the RAW Tag Team Titles and the United States Championship, along with being the second ever 24/7 Champion.

At 43, Robert Roode still has a lot in the tank, and could be an incredibly valued member of the NXT roster. With not much happening with him on Monday Night RAW at the moment, why not bring him back to the Black and Gold Brand to help out the next generation and put on the matches that fans know he's capable of? It seems like a no-brainer.
