Welcome to the Busted Open podcast. 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.

Yo, what's going on Busted Open Nation and thanks for tuning into another edition of the Busted Open after dark podcast with me.

Uncle bully come on in laid out on my couch and let's talk about some AEW dynamite. I'll tell you what I liked and I did it like.

Especially Samoa Joe and Roger Strong. How about another especially how about another especially going out to M. J. F. and Scott Steiner.

What do you mean Scott Steiner tuning into the podcast and I'll let you know. Thanks for hanging out with me tonight. I'm Uncle bully. This is the Busted Open after dark podcast. Turn it.

I want to talk about impact and I want to talk about NXT a little bit also last night NXT had a really strong show.

You know me and LaGrecca always talk about the ratings and whether or not they matter. Yes, it's old archaic and outdated. But when the ratings are good, everybody wants a flag to fly the flag and say, wow, look how great the rating was.

And if the rating is not so good, everybody says, nah, ratings don't matter. I'm one of those guys that believe that it is a barometer for something.

It definitely tells us whether people are tuning in or tuning out.

Last night, NXT did 850,000 viewers with a extremely strong main event of Tiffany Stratton and Becky Lynch.

Congratulations to NXT on probably the strongest number they've done in a very long time.

And I think NXT is working very hard to make sure that that developmental slash stand alone, I guess third brand does as well as they possibly good can on any given week.

And last night was a great job. Yes, they did an 8 minute overrun that did over a million viewers.

But it is, you know, what it is every once in a while, a W takes advantage of that overrun. And if you remember back in the day, raw and nitro did the overrun almost every single week.

Tiffany Stratton is a star.

I heard a lot of chatter on social media today about how Tiffany Stratton got buried last night with her loss to Becky Lynch.

I'm calling massive bullshit on that. Tiffany Stratton is more over today in her loss to Becky Lynch.

And then she was going in to NXT last night as your WWE NXT Women's Champion.

She was still trending. I think this morning and into the early afternoon. She has it all.

And as long as she can keep her head on straight, she's going to be a major player and a big star for the WWE.

Might I say, and I'm going out on a limb here, and I hope it's a strong limb. Not a strong to a whole dreamer up obviously, but nevertheless.

I think Tiffany Stratton has the potential to be the next Trish Stratus for the WWE.
