Bobby Roode, whose real name is Robert Roode Jr. has performed for several notable professional wrestling promotions, and is perhaps best known for his work in Impact Wrestling. The 40 year old returned to WWE last year, and now holds the NXT Championship.
On the other hand, Roderick Strong (real name- Christopher Lindsey) has also performed for companies such as ROH (Ring Of Honor) and Impact Wrestling, and has been competing in the WWE since last year.
The altercation between Bobby Roode and Roderick Strong is reportedly a part of the WWE’s storyline wherein the duo will be seen duking it out over Roode’s NXT Championship. The fisticuffs that transpired between the reigning NXT Champion and Strong will be shown on tonight’s episode of NXT.
From the look of it, this beef between Bobby Roode and Roderick Strong seems to be burning hot, and I think it’s safe to say that with push now coming to shove, it remains to be seen which man prevails in the end, and eventually walks away with the NXT title.
