We'll hold that for a second Let's get into Cody Rhodes Ricky Saints and somebody that I wasn't expecting to say right now and that is Gunther but before we get to Gunther I want to kick things off with Cody and Ricky

Rick, you know, man, people have been anticipating Ricky's debut on SmackDown.

They announced it last week.

He had a confrontation against Cody this week.

And it looks like the former friends are no more.

How did you feel about what you saw last night?

And the fact that Cody mentioned, he kind of alluded to, hey, you know, you and I, we've stood across from the ring from each other before.

And he said, what's different this time?

And Ricky threw me off when Ricky said, you.

And I'm thinking, you?

As in Cody?

And I thought, you know what?

That's fair.

Because Cody's different, Ricky's different, so that is truly fair.

But one of the things that you mentioned, though, was the crowd reaction.

You mentioned that there was really no pop there.

Now, we have seen, kind of with a little bit of all of the different call-ups on both Raw and SmackDown, one of the things that I've noticed is that

whatever reaction they were getting on nxt it's transferred over to the main roster except for technically soruka because soruka the last time we saw her she was getting booed on nxt and then she got cheered okay so cool totally different but aside from that everybody's been getting the exact same uh reaction from people with ricky i noticed at first okay there wasn't a pop for for him

Which was unfortunate because he's been on NXT long enough.

But at this exact same time though, what I've come to realize is that on NXT, he really wasn't translating the way that I thought he was going to be.
