Analysing Raw's acquisitions in the 2018 Superstar Shake-up

#8 Bobby Roode

Roode will need more than a catchy theme song to succeed on Raw

The last pick revealed on Raw was Bobby Roode, who was the surprise final participant in the 10-man tag team main event.

This could be a good move for Roode since he was already becoming a fairly stale act on Smackdown Live, despite only joining the brand in August.

A fresh start will surely see the ‘The Glorious One’ turn heel before too long, his current gimmick simply doesn’t work as a babyface and has failed to click with the main roster audience.

If this heel turn does happen, Roode could easily be one the brand's top villains in the coming months. His egotistical heel persona and self-indulgent entrance should be a perfect fit for Raw.

Placing him in feuds with no-nonsense badasses like Bobby Lashley or Samoa Joe, who could easily turn face, could see him transition back into his previous heel role that worked so well for Roode in NXT.
