Welcome to the Busted Open After Dark podcast. I'm your host Tommy Dreamer, joined by Jonathan Hood and the both of us will cover the post-Raw after WrestleMania.

This is the Busted Open podcast.

Roman Raines has so many potential massive matchups with him being the champion.

I love how they've handled it. And then even tonight, they took us on a much different

swerve when Jacob Fattu showed up. And a baby face, Jacob face Jacob Fatu getting in the face of Roman

Raines and basically expressing his needs, his wants, and desires to be that top guy.

I like that.

I was going to say, the people love Jacob as well, and they're chanting Jacob over Roman.

And it's a different version of Roman from what we've seen before.

And also a smoother edge on Jacob Batu, as he's noticed, right?

Comes in kind of like that with that MLW, you know, craziness, Samoan Werewolf, moving around.

He looked dangerous.

You didn't know exactly what angle he's coming from.

If you're a fan, you're looking at the exits because here comes Jacob Batu, like, okay, this guy seems a little dangerous. But you notice, Tommy, how the

edges have been smoothed with Jacob Fatu. He turns it up what he needs to. But you notice,

even on the mic work, it's not as erratic, it's not like I'm going to kill you. It's more

cerebral. It's more just, I'm talking directly to you. And when I need to turn it up, I'll turn it up. He's just not 120 miles an hour the entire time. He's more like, he's more like 85. He's giving you like a little slider, a little curveball. And then when he needs to give you the fastball, he gives it to you like we saw against Drew McIntyre. And he's also acknowledging the people

and bringing the people into his promos and the pausing and the waiting and waiting for

his catchphrases to be hit. And they're reciting them verbatim. Andre, I know we've got a lot of work

for you already, but you also have that audio. I don't want that title. I need that title. And to be clear, I'm not out here to be

chief, but I need everything that the tribal truth has.

I need the shoe deal.
