For years Bobby Roode fought for opportunities in the wrestling business, and he made the most of his opportunity when he signed a contract with NXT. Joining NXT proved to be the right move for Bobby and his run with the brand has completely reinvigorated his career.

Bobby Roode had a solid run as NXT Champion, but his title reign came to an end last Saturday night when he defended the title against Drew McIntyre at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III. Drew managed to defeat Bobby Roode and win the title, and immediately after the match fans started talking about a possible main roster call up for Bobby.
A few days later Roode made his debut on SmackDown Live, and worked as a face when he battled Aiden English in a match that the former NXT Champion won.
It looks like Bobby Roode is set to be featured as one of the top stars on the blue brand, which means he’ll officially be leaving to NXT soon.
Bobby Roode’s NXT farewell tour has been announced, and he’ll be saying goodbye to the brand after the events on at the 9/7 event in Rochester, NY, the 9/8 event in St. Catherines, Ontario and the 9/9 event in Toronto, Ontario.

The NXT brand will be losing one of its top stars when Roode says farewell, but NXT has also gained another big star in Adam Cole. After Drew McIntyre defeated Roode at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III, Adam Cole made his debut, and he made it clear that he wants the title after he teamed up with Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish to deliver a beat down to Drew McIntyre.
Triple H recently welcomed Cole to the NXT brand, and he told him that he shouldn’t be afraid to make a few enemies on his way to the top.
Don't be afraid to make a few enemies…it's the only way to the top. Welcome to @WWENXT, @AdamColePro. #WeAreNXT pic.twitter.com/MKKsbGncfZ
