This is Denise Salcedo with the world's strongest man Mark Henry and this is the weekend edition of the busted open podcast.

0:25.0

On today's show will break down the full money in the bank card. Could we see Solosikoa turn on Roman Reigns tonight?

0:32.0

Find out what Mark thinks and who comes out on top in the men's and women's money in the bank matches? We'll see.

0:41.0

So let's talk about what went down last night on SmackDown. So we had Logan Paul as a special guest in the Grayson Waller effect.

0:51.0

And during this, we ended up having Logan be booed by the people in London, which is not at all surprising considering that Logan Paul tends to be booed all the time.

1:03.0

But he basically tells Grayson Waller that he's not going to be happy. He's not going to be contempt until he has gold around his waist.

1:10.0

He is then met by Ali Knight who comes out to a massive reaction. And we end up getting this little back and forth here between Ali Knight and Logan Paul, which felt very appropriate considering that those are the two top people that people are predicting may or may not be winning the money in the bank briefcase.

1:29.0

But we had a line from Logan Paul to Ali Knight during this segment, though, where he tells to him, all I see is a guy who was supposed to be a manager in WWE after 20 years of a lackluster career, which was kind of a, you know, a pretty savage line from Logan Paul.

1:50.0

Immediately after this, we get Santos Escobar running out there, but you're running out there. This then leads to a triple threat match between Escobar butch and Ali Knight with butch winning.

2:01.0

But even during this match, though, we had a little bit more of a confrontation between Logan Paul and Ali Knight. So mark with all of that being said, what did you make of this segment last night on Smackdown?

2:13.0

Well, first off, I apologize. I thought I could handle it. It was a little bit much, but last night watching LA Knight reminded me and I hope it reminded the rest of the world that LA Knight is old ver.

2:33.0

He is one of the top wrestlers in the industry with his wrestling and entertainment combined. And that's what it's about. He controlled the crowd.

2:48.0

The people feel like they got their money's worth. They feel like, you know what, I arrive with LA Knight. And LA Knight is, he carried that segment.

3:01.0

Paul might be the most recognizable because of social media and his influence and all of that stuff. But last night in that ring, LA Knight said it the best.

3:14.0

He said, this is my ring. And he really meant this is my arena. Pro wrestling is me. You're a visitor. Know your role. And it came off like that. I mean, the match I could have did with the match or did without the match after the banter at the beginning because that was the meat of it.

3:38.0

And if LA Knight does not win the money in the bank, I'm going to be pissed.

3:46.0

And here's the thing. I kind of wanted to see more of this interaction between Logan Paul and LA Knight. Like I didn't feel like they gave us it was a quick little tease, but you could tell there was still more there.

3:58.0

And they quickly just went into, okay, let's have this run and let's have this running work. When that happened, I thought, man, I'm like, I was still waiting to see what was going to happen. What else was going to be say, what other one liners were going to be thrown out there.

4:12.0

And here's the thing though, is that you did have LA Knight go out there to a massive reaction and the people were hanging on to his every word, but I actually did think that Logan Paul kind of came out stronger in this promo exchange because that one line that he had towards towards LA Knight. I didn't feel that LA Knights come back was that strong because when Logan Paul through that shot at him. I thought, oh man, like if I were LA Knight, I got to come back with something strong.

4:41.0

And I didn't necessarily get that. So for me, that's why it was a little bit upset when it ended so abruptly.
