The Roode-McIntyre Segment Gets Strong-er

Based on this segment, it seems Roderick Strong is nowhere close to done with the NXT Championship. If anything, there may be more to come.

Bobby Roode and Drew McIntyre had an in-ring segment during this WWE NXT episode. They promoted their NXT Championship match, which will take place at TakeOver: Brooklyn III on the 20th. Roode brought out security, as he thought Strong was after him.

After a verbal exchange between the two foes, Strong interrupted and made his way into the venue. He came with a plan, and one that will potentially shake up NXT in the future weeks and months.

On the go-home edition of WWE NXT before TakeOver, Strong and McIntyre will go head-to-head. If the former ROH star wins, he gets a future opportunity at Roode.

It doesn’t halt the plans for two Saturdays from now, but it’s an interesting match for next Wednesday’s show. Strong can easily work his way into the title mix, but it’s against an undefeated NXT star who probably has no business losing just three days before the live special. So, what does that mean for Roddy? Will he be saddled to another part of the card?
