Robin Lumberg and Justin LaBarre here on The Busted Open Podcast.

We react to AEW Grand Slam and what it means going forward.

This is the busted open podcast.

I don't think there's any problem with the matches themselves.

The action has been strong. Where there is room for critique is where they lead to

and the stories within them. You know, the rest of the Grand Slam card, Moxley, he didn't beat

Takesha, but it was a draw, a 20-minute draw. He keeps the AEW Continental title as a result.

Then you had Babes of Wrath beating Megabad,

and Lena Cross winds up aligning with Megabad, All Elite.

So that was probably the surprise of the card. And then beyond beyond that Tony Storm and Orange Cassidy beat

Marina Shafir and Willer Yuda with Willa Yuda having to cut his hair hangman Adam Page over

Andrade as we've talked about Kyle Fletcher beating Mark Briscoe in the latter match and MJF over Brody King for the title.

Justin, do you think, did it do a disservice to guys like Champa and Andrade

to have them have these big wins and then all of a sudden it go the other direction so quickly

thereafter?

The Tomaso Champa thing kind of baffles me i mean great debut surprise great music

great presentation really i think has everybody buzzing and then makes a statement getting that

title win i don't understand like well i don't understand winning the title and then having him

drop it a week and a half later.

I get if you want Fletcher to go to Australia where he's from as a champion.

I get that.

If that's the case, don't have Champa win it in the first place.
