According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, RAW Executive Director Paul Heyman is said to be a big proponent of Bobby Roode backstage in WWE. As seen during this week’s WWE RAW broadcast, Dolph Ziggler and Roode won a Tag Team Turmoil Match to earn a tag-team title shot against Braun Strowman and Seth Rollins at Clash of Champions.
Roode picking up the win in the tag-team gauntlet match was done as a way to showcase Roode and give him some momentum again after he had not been doing much in WWE for quite some time.
