Roode has a lot of talent. Check out what he has done in WWE:

Opinion: That is rough to hear as Roode is going to be out of action for a long time, but at the same time, having your neck fixed up is some very good news. Roode should be in much better health after this surgery and now he can get on the road to recovery. Whether he will wrestle again is up in the air, but he certainly seems to be willing to try and get back in the ring from here.
