Roderick Strong has been one of the veterans a part of the NXT 2.0 rebrand. He recently lost a title unification match to Carmelo Hayes which retired the NXT Cruiserweight Championship.
Strong has been with the company since 2016. He was a member of the Undisputed Era along with Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, and Kyle O’Reilly. The other three members of the group have since joined AEW. Strong re-signed with the company in early 2021.
The former NXT Cruiserweight Champion will take on WALTER tonight on NXT. In an unusual turn of events, Strong recently opened his own Pro Wrestling Tees store. On today’s episode of Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez shared his thoughts.
“WALTER will be facing Roderick Strong on Tuesday night. God, I hope they give this match time. I don’t know what the future is for Roderick strong, because, you know, Roderick Strong was the Cruiserweight Champion. They’re getting rid of the cruiserweight belt. Clearly, they don’t want cruiserweights. And I believe Roderick Strong just opened up a PW Tees store, so I don’t know what the future is for this guy… I don’t know if we’ll know more tonight, but I expected him to be destroyed by WALTER… Who knows what his future is from there, but my guess is Roderick Strong will also not be in the Royal Rumble.”
