WWE Star Makes Backstage Return

WWE

An update has emerged on Robert Roode (Bobby Roode), ahead of his impending return to WWE TV.

Roode hasn’t wrestled on TV since competing in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal on the April 1 edition of SmackDown.

The popular star has competed in several bouts at house shows, since, most recently wrestling in June.

In September, Roode confirmed that he underwent medical treatment at Southlake Orthopaedics in Birmingham, Alabama.

It was previously reported that the hope is that Roode will be able to make a WWE return ‘soon’.

PWInsider has since confirmed that Roode was backstage for the November 11 edition of SmackDown.

The report stated that this was the first TV taping that Roode had attended in a long time.

This also indicates that the plan is for Roode to join the Blue Brand’s roster upon his return, meaning that his tag-team with Raw star Dolph Ziggler likely won’t be reunited when he makes his comeback.

Many have speculated that Roode will be pushed under the Triple H regime, given how he was utilized as a top star in NXT when Triple H ran the show.
