When Bobby Roode made his way to the main roster, he came out as a babyface. This didn't sit well with the fans as the guy was a natural heel. There are some Superstars who are destined to play the heel character, and they never work as a babyface. Roode is one of those Superstars.
The babyface Roode didn't do much for the fans on the blue brand, but WWE kept trying the same when he switched to Monday Night Raw. Now, Robert Roode is a full-fledged heel, the way he was always supposed to be.
His promo before his bout with Ricochet reminded fans of why they loved him as a heel. This heel turn was a long time coming and there's still hope for Roode. If the creative runs with this gimmick, it has the potential to turn Roode into one of the most hated heels on the Raw roster.
Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
