0:00.0	This is the busted open podcast. You can listen to the full show Monday through Saturday
0:07.1	from 9 a.m. to noon Eastern on serious XM fight nation channel 156.
0:14.1	Welcome to the busted open podcast. This is Dave LaGrecca on today's episode myself and Tommy
0:20.7	Dreamer talk about Cody Rhodes your Royal Rumble winner and now his path to WrestleMania. So we
0:27.5	get into Rio Ripley choosing Charlotte Flair and that SmackDown Women's Championship for WrestleMania 39.
0:35.1	Also, we speak to the legendary Nikita Cola right now on the busted open podcast.
0:46.2	Tommy, I want to talk a little bit about the journey that Cody talked about in his promo last

2:05.2	WWE. Mid-car, yes. Yeah and I don't think the potential was there that they were ever going to
2:12.2	use him the correct way. Like I feel like there was so many different character changes
