| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, this is Denise Salcedo with the world's strongest man, Mark Henry, and welcome to the |
| 0:04.5 | Busted Open podcast. To begin the show, Mark and I talk about the return of Randy Orton and how he |
| 0:09.9 | fits into the WWE title picture. This is the busted open podcast. Do we want to kick things off with |

| 1:10.0 | But at the exact same time, we are working into a match, three stages of hell, |
| 1:15.3 | that we are going to be seeing next week in Berlin on Smackdown with Drew McIntyre versus Cody Rhodes. |
