Is the NXT Championship a Blessing or a Curse?

#10 Bobby Roode - Curse

Bobby Roode (12th NXT Champion)

I was there for his first appearance on NXT television. He entered and his music was Glorious, I immediately stood up and spread my arms wide like he was doing and was able to sing along with the song within the first listen.

Then he came down to the ring and made a speech about how he was going to make NXT glorious and bring a better class of people to the audience as opposed to the trash that we all were.

He did two things very well that night, sadly the audience focused on one of them too much. His character quickly lost priority to his entrance. He became a bland babyface that says "glorious" every time he's on screen.

The guy's name is Roode, but he doesn't get to act rude ever. He has had a little success and had a short run with the US Title, but hasn't done anything of particular note other than that. It's still early for him since his call-up but as it stands right now, he is trapped in a song that was meant for Nakamura.
