This is Jonathan Zaslow with the Innovator of Violence, Tommy Dreamer, and this is the Saturday edition of Busted Open Podcast on Today's show.

We'll discuss some of the big moments from Friday Night Smackdown and AEW Rampage.

We saw the first face-to-face meeting between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes in the build-up to their WrestleMania match.

And how do we feel about Bray Wyatt and Bobby Lashley?

Tommy has some strong feelings on this. You're not going to want to miss.

Plus, as we get closer to AEW Revolution, let's take a look at the heel war of that bastard Christian Cage.

Tommy, the first thing that comes to my mind during that segment last night, and look, there's a lot of really cool stuff that took place during that promo.

But I can't get over. It wasn't that long ago that Roman Reigns was in that ring with John Cena leading to the build-up to their match.

And I mean, Roman just couldn't handle the microphone compared to Cena, of course. And now, I mean, he's incredible, not just on the mic, but the facial expressions, all of it.

I mean, I don't know who has come along the way that Roman Reigns has from that to this. He's amazing.

Well, like he said, he was kind of the chosen one from the beginning.

This, for me personally, this is like really, really interesting. Why I have connections with the guys. I was, I was the first wrestler that the shield attacked and took out by Roman Reigns.

He was the last guy to take me out. And I was like, he is special. I knew his brother. I know his father.

And then for Cody, man, I mean, besides Dusty Rhodes being my hero, Dusty was my friend. And then the other half of that, I hired Cody Rhodes into WWE.

And I, I, these promos, they resonate with me because like I said, there's, I said it wouldn't Cody confronted Paulie. There's so many real stories here that it's for them to tell.

Going from last night, it was special right off the bat. Why Cody very, very nicely, not only did he put him over, but then he says, unless you need these guys here and like the people like, oh, it's going to get real.

Well, solo is just mean mugging Cody the whole time.

Correct. And to answer your question with Roman, how did he get so good? It's just like any great wrestling match. You get good with the quality of opponent.

And also he's had a lot of mic time. And he stood there when he was with John Cena wasn't the best. He wasn't the worst.

He saw right and it's that's where you have sink or swim. Me and bully literally just went at it was supposed to be a debate. And I had all these things in my head that I was going to say and then bully took it a whole other direction.
