#4 Bobby Roode

The former TNA Superstar Bobby Roode made waves when he debuted in NXT. The fans loved every bit of his "Glorious" persona. He consistently delivered excellent matches down in developmental, and was finally thrust onto the main roster.

Although Roode did well for a while, and was featured in a Fatal Four-Way match for the United States title at WrestleMania 34, he didn't do much of worth since then.

Roode was drafted to Monday Night Raw in the Superstar Shakeup and has been an afterthought ever since. He went on to team up with Chad Gable, another NXT recruit WWE messed up. The duo is currently having regular matches against Aleister Black-Ricochet and The Revival.

They might get a tag team title shot at WrestleMania in a multi-man tag team match, but this is way worse than what Roode deserves. His downfall on the main roster is an absolute travesty.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
