NXT: 5 Points to Note (December 14th, 2016)

#4 Roderick made a Strong statement

The Messiah of the Backbreaker did not dance to Samson’s tunes

Roderick Strong defeated Elias Samson to advance to the Fatal Four Way next week. There are two major takeaways from this.

The first is that Corey Graves becomes almost maniacal at the sight of The Drifter. Every time he goes into a tirade about how much he hates Samson, it is refreshing to see a colour commentator hate on a heel talent.

But more importantly, Roderick Strong is a great hand in the ring, who can really step up to the main event picture in the near future. Let’s see how he fares in the Fatal Four Way next week.
