Welcome to The Busted Open Podcast. This is Dave LaGrecca.

On today's episode, myself and Bully Ray talk about Monday Night Roast,

especially that main event with Thomas the Champa and your Intercontinental Champion,

also speaking of champions.

We speak to Iliad Dragonov, your NXT Champion,

and we speak to Gangrel on Edge jumping from the WWE to AEW right now on The Busted Open Podcast.

Let's get into what we saw in the main event on Monday Night Roast.

And you and I actually talked about this before going on a year today.

This was an interesting one because since we have not seen Roman Reigns at all,

now we're going to have another pay-per-view this weekend without Roman Reigns defending that undisputed WWE Universal Championship.

It's almost at the point where I forgot the name of the title because it's been so long since he defended it.

The Intercontinental Championship, to me, has kind of been the prestigious championship in the WWE

because there's history behind it, Goothamade history being the longest reigning Intercontinental Champion.

We see Goothamade on TV all the time and he defends this championship all the time.

Now, there was the contract signing last night with him and Champa for Fastlane.

But Bully, they pulled an audible and I loved it.

Instead of having this championship match on the pay-per-view this weekend,

they decided to have it in the main event on Monday Night Roast.

And Bully, I thought it was a genius decision on the WWE and I want to get your take on it and of course the nation.
