This is the busted open podcast. You can listen to the full show Monday through Saturday

from 9 a.m. to noon Eastern on serious XM fight nation channel 156.

Welcome to the busted open podcast. This is Dave VlaGrecca. On today's episode myself,

Mark Henry and Bully Ray talk, Smackdown from this past Friday night and who could be John

Cena's tag team partner now that AJ Styles is out going up against the bloodline.

Also, we got into Christian Cage officially your new TNT champion and the amazing Texas death

match between Ricky Starks and Brian Anderson right now on the busted open podcast.

This past Friday night, sold out crowd for Smackdown. It's amazing even on a Smackdown when

you know you're probably not going to get any Roman reigns and we haven't seen Roman in a while.

You get another sell out in Glendale, Arizona for Smackdown but really the star of Smackdown would

probably have to be John Cena and Mark and you look at John Cena right now. You thought you're

going to get a match up and there's a lot of layers because even Paul Heyman is a little upset with

some of the things that Jimmy Usso did on Friday night. So and it's almost like, oh my God,

it's like here we go again where Jimmy Usso isn't thinking ahead and it's making decisions

without referring to Roman reigns and I'm guessing, Mark, this is going to buy Jimmy Usso in the ass.

Now, as they're going to bite him in the ass, it's going to kick him in the ass because Roman is

going to come back and he's going to be like, hey, so you're the travel chief now, you're

going to want to make the decisions. I gave Paul Heyman the reigns, no pun intended,

to lead the family on my behalf and now you're just stepping completely in front of him

without any console. So I'm going to need you to dial that back a bit and then now the attention

is going to go from Jay to Jimmy and it's going to be basically, I feel like

the same thing, just the different brother and it's going to put Solo right back and behind
