NXT TakeOver: Toronto: 4 Best Moments

4. Bobby Roode’s Entrance and Match With Tye Dillinger

What a way to kick off a show!  The Air Canada Center got quite a treat as the first entrance was that of Ontario native Roode, entering the arena to a church themed chorus group singing his “Glorious” theme song.  Bobby basked in the mixture of cheers and boos from his home country fans and detractors and started the night off perfectly.  Here’s a snippet from it:

Roode and his opponent, the criminally under-appreciated Tye Dillinger went on to put on a terrific match after the brilliant entrance and it was a reminder to all just how good as advertised Roode really is. It was a back and forth battle that had the crowd firmly invested and it was everything that an NXT live event is supposed to be.  Roode proved that he’s clearly an NXT title contender, and no matter what type of story line he gets embroiled in, there’s no doubt it will be thrilling.

Dillinger, losing to a guy with Roode’s resume loses nothing in defeat and he seems destined for big things.  The post-match ovation he received is evidence of that.  At 35 years-old it may be time for “The Perfect 10” to get the call-up to the main roster and take a shot at making his mark.

Move over Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura, Bobby Roode now holds the title of best entrance in NXT.
