NXT: 5 Points to Note (August 30, 2017)

#4 A sweet ending to a bitter tale

Roderick Strong stood tall at the end of this glorious match

Bobby Roode left NXT with the best match he's wrestled for the brand. While he dropped the title to Drew McIntyre at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III and thereafter made his SmackDown Live debut, there was always some unfinished business he needed to take care of. His feud with Roderick Strong was a compelling one, a personal one, a vicious one.

The two men took each other to the limit in this match, as both men targeted each other's back, and told a thrilling tale of revenge, taunting and insulting one another during the course of the match. Ultimately, Bobby Roode fell to the 'End of the Heartache' and moved on to the main roster, at long last.

The crowd knew it was the end for Roode as they thanked him before the match even began. Roode is a possible WWE Champion in the future, and we wish him all the best for his run on SmackDown Live.

We're afraid there may be yet another departure from NXT too.
