NXT Recap: Roderick Strong's journey progresses

Since his arrival at NXT in October of last year, Roderick Strong's in-ring prowess has been his character's focal point.

Strong is a tremendous worker and someone who can be counted on for a great match, but fans became more engaged with his efforts after a two-part "Who is Roderick Strong?" video package illustrated where he came from, his tough upbringing and his journey into the world of professional wrestling. Well produced, the video series did wonders for Strong's character development.

Despite a loss to Hideo Itami in a match that determined the No. 1 contender in the NXT Championship last month, Strong found another avenue for progression at TakeOver: Chicago. At the event, he became the first superstar to get the best of Eric Young and SAnitY on the TakeOver stage. He and Kassius Ohno then doubled up on that success last week, defeating Young and Alexander Wolfe in a tag match.

Strong addressed the NXT universe this week regarding his next challenge.
