Last year at NXT TakeOver: Dallas, Bobby Roode appeared on camera as he was sitting in the front row and this year he defended the NXT Title at NXT TakeOver: Orlando. Drew McIntyre also made an appearance at the event as he was sitting in the front row this time around.
After the match ESPN caught up with Bobby Roode and asked him about Drew’s return. Bobby said that he was in Drew’s position a year ago, and it’s going to be very interesting to see what happens over the next few weeks.
