Aries may have won the match, but Strong captured the attention of TNA matchmakers, as he officially became a part of the TNA roster following the bout. On October 1, Strong became a part of TNA history, competing in the first-ever match on “iMPACT!” on SpikeTV, falling to “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles. Now a member of TNA’s exciting X Division, Roderick Strong can beat opponents with his high-flying skills or ground-and-pound them with his submission style. Prior to joining TNA, Strong cut his teeth on the independent scene where he mastered the X style against opponents such as AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Austin Aries and others. |
