Last night on IW, Bobby Roode challenged Cowboy James Storm to a match for the #1 contender spot for the TNA WHC. Storm accepted the match and ultimately lost said match and the spot to Bobby Roode.
I've got no complaints about Roode being #1 contender. I just don't understand why they didn't just have him win the triple threat match against Styles & Storm at the Turning Point ppv. The way Storm was goaded into the match with the lame daughter insult made Storm come off like some country bumpkin. It just felt like really lazy booking.
But, in the end, Roode is #1 contender and I think he's the choice that should've been made in the first place. From an overall standpoint, Roodes' been the top heel in TNA for over a year now and highly capable heels like Roode & Aries are needed to really carry a Jeff Hardy feud.
I highly doubt that Roode will take the title from Hardy though. I don't expect Hardy to relinquish the strap anytime soon because while I think Hardy will sign a new deal with TNA, I don't see them doing anything to make him remotely unhappy right now.
