NXT- 5 Points to Note (26th April, 2017)

#3 Roderick Strong shared a dark secret

We learned that Strong’s past wasn't really all rosy

Everyone knows that Roderick Strong is one of the best workers in the whole world. So far, that’s all we knew about the ‘Messiah of the Backbreaker’. This week, we took a look into his past and found out that his youth wasn't all fun and games. He had a troubled childhood with parents who had serious drug and alcohol issues. Like so many other sports entertainment superstars, professional wrestling eventually saved his life.

This was the first glimpse of the rugged exterior behind the man called Roderick Strong. We commend NXT for finally showcasing another aspect of the man’s life and trying to do something different. This is a welcome change, and we look forward to Part II next week. Character development for the other superstars on the roster can help them too!
