Roderick Strong to Debut Next Week

[Richard Blonoff]

On 205 Live. Honestly this seems like his ceiling in WWE. His NXT highlight was being used as a projectile by AOP in the War Games match.

Not sure if this is a full time call up. Roddy still has issues with Lars that remain unresolved. Looks like a one time thing, for now anyway.

Should be a fun match, and much as I like Roddy in that criteria, I have to agree about this being his ceiling. That being said, I love wrestlers who disprove my initial opinion of them.

I think they're putting him in to make the tournament more appealing. Bate this week, Strong next. Don't be too surprised if Mysterio and Dunne show up along the way.

I also seem to remember they mentioned that Drake wants to bring in competitors from all over the world. I wonder if they didn't emphasize that point in case they couldn't fulfill that notion on such short notice. NXT and UK competitors will fill that void in case they can't bring in the likes of Ibushi or Sabre Jr.

I wonder if Neville or Ricochet are in this.

If you look up vanilla midget in the dictionary, the definition is simply Roderick Strong.
