History Awesome / BobbyRoode

* The entrance for his first NXT main broadcast match at ''Takeover: Brooklyn 2'', AKA [[https://youtu.be/URNRTrpnT7g one of the greatest entrances Roode has ever made to a ring]]. Emerging from the [[Wrestling/WadeBarrett Bad News Barrett]] scissor-lift covered in blue drapes with a graphic of a heavenly sky behind you and a spotlight on you, with said lift slowly descending as you extend your arms in a display of grandiose ego while clad in a classic villainous robe, is one thing. ''[[UpToEleven Being serenaded by an entire crowd of damn near 20,000 people singing the chorus of your entrance song while you're doing this, and all just before your first televised WWE match?]]'' There's a reason that shit-eating grin found its way to his face despite his best efforts. Everything that Bobby Roode accomplished in his career prior was validated by landing him in that spot — making his NXT in-ring debut full of credibility with that song in tow, and absolutely lavished by a jam-packed audience despite being a heel. He not only won that match, against Wrestling/AndradeCienAlmas[[note]]the former La Sombra from Wrestling/{{CMLL}}[[/note]], he completely took the crowd from Cien without even trying.

* And then ''Takeover: San Antonio'' happened. First, ANOTHER spectacular entrance, only this time with eight fine ladies in tow. The entire arena once again singing him to the ring, to face the NXT Champion Wrestling/ShinsukeNakamura who has his own spectacular entrances. What happened was a very back and forth match with Roode using his infuriating Americanized heel tactics to get under the skin of Nakamura. After Shinsuke hurts his own knee on a [[FinishingMove Kinshasa]] attempt, Roode finds his opening. After a Canadian Maple Leaf [[UpToEleven WITH added punches to the knee]] and TWO Glorious [=DDTs=], Roode becomes NXT Champion! I repeat, Bobby Roode [[ShockingMoments DEFEATED SHINSUKE NAKAMURA FOR THE NXT CHAMPIONSHIP]].

* His entrance for ''Takeover: Toronto'' tops the Brooklyn one with its sheer awesomeness. [[https://youtu.be/ZVaJH8pWnWk A choir singing a prelude to his theme]] with the crowd chanting "Glorious"... and then the piano hits, and Roode comes out, with everyone in the arena singing his music. It helps that Toronto is Roode's home turf, but it's also his opponent, Tye Dillinger's home turf. In fact, people were chanting "This is awesome!" and "Both these guys!", clearly indicating their status as NXT Universe's favorites.
