At Takeover: Toronto in Fall 2016, Bobby Roode faced off against Tye Dillinger in an illustrious homecoming that made for one of the top moments of the night and one of the greatest pro-wrestling entrances ever. With both superstars having been raised within an hour of the Air Canada Center, this opening match had a special feel for the crowd in attendance.

Roode exploited this by making his way to the ring flanked by a large choir from a local performing arts school, who passionately sang his infectious Glorious theme with the fervour of an Easter service in a large Cathedral. With lights overhead, jumbotrons featuring clouds in the background, and an alleyway filled with fog, Roode entered the arena in an almost messianic fashion, sporting a lavish robe while making his signature arm gestures.

Fortunately, he also won the match and went on to become NXT champion at the following Takeover in San Antonio. But only Toronto can claim the bragging rights for his most divinely-inspired entrance.
