With the Undisputed Era now finished, Roderick Strong has returned to WWE NXT along with the Diamond Mine. According to a report from Fightful Select, Strong signed a new deal with WWE before the faction debuted. Strong reportedly signed the deal before his wife, Marina Shafir, was released from her contract last month.
The Diamond Mine, and Strong in particular, are expected to play a major role in the NXT Cruiserweight division moving forward. It had previously been reported as well that there are plans to put more emphasis on the cruiserweights in NXT. Recently, however, several members of the division were released including Tony Nese, Ariya Daivari, August Grey, and the Bollywood Boyz.
A KUSHIDA vs Roderick Strong NXT Cruiserweight Championship match could potentially be as big a match as the division has ever seen.
Strong signed with WWE in 2016 after having spent 13 years with Ring of Honor. He debuted for ROH in 2003. He is a 1x ROH World Champion, 2x Television Champion, and once held the tag titles for the promotion along with Austin Aries. In NXT, Strong is a 1x North American Champion and 2x tag champion along with his Undisputed Era teammates.
