This week on SmackDown Live, we saw WWE Champion Jinder Mahal celebrate his title win, with ethnic Indian pomp and splendour. Bobby Roode has his own celebrations happening next week when NXT returns to Full Sail. While Roode has said that he will name his new contender as and when he chooses to, we are certain that this angle will be the catalyst for his next title match program.
The main issue for Roode is that there are several challengers for his crown in NXT as of this moment. With Roderick Strong mentioning the NXT Championship in the promo he cut this week as well, we wonder who will rise to the challenge after Itami? Speaking of Jinder Mahal, maybe it will be his best friend who takes Bobby Roode’s championship from him.
