| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Bust Open podcast, along with Justin Labar. I'm Jonathan Hood. And on today's show, we |
| 0:05.3 | discuss A.J. Stiles losing to Gunther in his retirement match. Is A.J. really retiring? |

| 0:18.2 | Justin, we did not get a smile, but we did get a grimace from the sleeper, |
