This is Denise Salcedo with Justin Labar on the Busted Open Podcast.

We react to everything that went down at the Royal Rumble.

We break down the big wins from Cody Roads and Bailey,

some of the biggest highlights from both men's and women's rumbles,

and what is next as we hit the road to WrestleMania?

All of that coming up on the busted open podcast.

I want to kick things off here

because there's going to be so much to talk about for this men's

rumble, but I want to kick things off by did you think

Cody Rhodes was gonna actually do it back-to-back times?

Truthfully no no, my first pick that I was putting money on was actually CM Punk.

Obviously, I'm not like floored or you know you know I haven't been sucker punched that Cody wanted. It's not a you know

It makes a lot of sense which I'll get into in a second here, but I was actually thinking punk I figure punk's back

He's gonna win it I really felt going into the rumble Denise that the winner of the men's rumble would be the person

who's going to go after the world title that's on a roll the world title that's Seth's holding I thought

whoever gets to Roman it's going to be a steeper hill they're gonna have to go

through chamber never mind the rock factor and that's floating around in the

universe now. So this did surprise me in that sense but I'm not mad. You know, something I said to you a few weeks ago when we had the pleasure of working together here on Prusset Open was sometimes predictable is okay, as long as it's logical.

Cody winning back to back.
