It’s pertinent to note that Angle recently demanded a push for Roode, claiming he was mostly under-used. Roode has been on a hiatus for a year now and there was little expectation of his return to the mix anytime soon. Even reports broke out suggesting the former United States Champion would be on the shelf for the rest of the year. But it doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.
The former NXT Champion has reportedly been spotted in Detroit, the venue of SummerSlam, days ahead of the second biggest PLE’s advent.

Another one again tries to dismiss the chance of Roode returning to the roster at SummerSlam. As per him, the information is too generic to come to any such conclusion.
I love how wrestlers are “spotted” in cities where a show is taking place. It’s like they don’t have any friends in the business they want to see.
