In a recent virtual signing, Road Dogg, who exited WWE just earlier this year, addressed rumors of Bobby Roode being groomed to eventually replace the company’s Vice President of Creative, Michael Hayes. Dogg explained that while he wasn’t sure what was planned for the long run, Triple H had a lot of faith in Roode and often leaned on him backstage to get the job done.

“I don’t know how much grooming is going (on) but look, Bobby’s got a great sense for what we do here and Hunter leans on him so, he’s not being groomed but he’s definitely in a great spot right now.” (H/T – Fightful)

Bobby Roode has no intentions to wrestle in WWE again

A couple of years back, in an interview, Bobby Roode opened up about his in-ring future. Roode revealed that even though he had the go-ahead from the doctors to resume his wrestling career, he wasn’t interested anymore. He added that he signed with WWE in 2016 with the intention of becoming a producer, and now that he was in the role, he wasn’t keen on changing paths again.

“Ironically enough, I just got green-lighted. The fusion has completely fused. So as far as like, looking at it from a medical point of view, it’s safe to get back in the ring, I guess. “But at almost 48 years old, given the opportunity that I’ve been given now to work as a producer, which was my goal coming to WWE almost eight years ago. I’m quite happy doing this. And I feel like I’ve had a good run, as they say, and I’m happy to do what I’m doing now.”

Apart from Roode, stars like Jason Jordan and Tyson Kidd, whose in-ring careers also came to a premature end, have also transitioned to backstage roles.
