A huge name has been confirmed for WWE NXT Homecoming on Tuesday. NXT is heading back to Full Sail University for a special Homecoming episode on CW. Stars such as Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair have already been confirmed for the show as well.
Now, in a post on X (Twitter), WWE announced the return of former NXT Champion Bobby Roode for NXT Homecoming.
“GLORIOUS! 🙌 Bobby Roode will be at #NXTHomecoming TONIGHT at Full Sail!,” the post read.
Check out the post below:
Former TNA World Champion Bobby Roode made his NXT debut in 2016. He was quickly placed as one of the top heels on the brand. He then briefly aligned with Tye Dillinger for the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic before turning on him.
Roode continued his rise on the brand and won a number 1 contender’s Fatal Four-Way match to earn a shot at the NXT Championship. At NXT Takeover: San Antonio in January 2017, Roode beat Shinsuke Nakamura to become the NXT Champion.
After a few successful title defenses, he dropped the Championship to Drew McIntyre at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III. Bobby Roode debuted on the main roster shortly afterward and would go on to win the U.S. Title and is a former three-time Tag Team Champion.
