What is Justin LaBar’s immediate reaction to Cody Rhodes winning the WWE Championship?
What's up? It is your microphone general Justin Labar, and this is the Busted Open After Dark podcast. Cody Rhodes, he is your new WWE champion, and I'm reacting to it all right now. This is the Busted Open Podcast. That's right, the American Nightmare. Is back. With the gold. Can't be the golden boy without the goal, that's what he says, right? QB one is back in the driver's seat, or so we are led to believe. On the road to WrestleMania. Of course, this coming after Randy Orton qualifies. To be the number one contender last weekend, winning the elimination chamber, something that Cody Rhodes did not do. And then due to the interf you know, due to Drew McIntyre getting involved in the chamber match. Due to all the, you know, uh shenanigans.
And and and and an anti authority he is against Nick Aldis. Nick Aldis Forces Drew to defend this title. Just you know, less than a week after Chamber up against Cody Rhodes. So Randy Orton, we know, is safe. He we know he's going to WrestleMania. But Drew, because he can't get it out of his own way, has to defend his title against somebody who came up short in the chamber. And Cody Rhodes. They planted a lot of seeds. They planted a lot of seeds. We saw a lot of Sami Zayn tonight, relatively speaking, considering the fact that he didn't have a match. We saw him backstage several times. We've seen him backstage quite a bit in the recent weeks. Sammy Zayn's there.
How did the elimination‑chamber results set up Cody Rhodes vs. Drew McIntyre on SmackDown?
We kicked off the night with Randy Orton, again, the rightful, true number one contender going into Mania. We also then got an appearance and interference from Jacob Fatu. In the final seconds of this match. Between Cody And Drew. So a lot of seeds planted, a lot of people being involved. Which had me down to the wire skeptical of are we actually gonna see a clean finish here? Are we actually gonna see a straight up winner? If you ask me When I woke up Friday morning I would have told you, eh. I'm predicting shenanigans. I'm predicting a whole lot of people are gonna be self serving and we're gonna have a big old Uh just a big old mess, a big old Donnybrook. And that's how we're going to get it to Mania. That's we're we're going to take uh we're going to take a whole bunch of people in this title match to Mania.
Everybody's going to get a little piece of the mania pie. That's what I would have told you. And they had a chance to do it. But what they just did is clear cut give us Cody Rhodes beating Drew McIntyre. Yes, there was a f several ref bumps. Yes, there was Jacob Fall Two's interference. Yes, there was broken tables on purpose or not. But they flat out gave you one, two, three, Cody Rhodes as your new champion. So the fact that they did that And and they've already were advertising prior to the match. They were advertising earlier in the SmackDown program. They were already advertising the contract signing. Between Randy Orton and the winner of Drew versus Cody. To me. That makes me believe we are straight up gonna get Cody Rhodes versus Randy Orton.
Well, here's my immediate reaction is this. Cody Rhodes versus Randy Orton. is a very sexy marquee. You have a lot going here. You have Cody and and where he's at in his WWE career. Obviously he's been top of the mountain for the last uh three years. All the you know, all the finishing of the story with the bloodline coming up short of this mania, then the next mania, he finally gets it. All the adversity he's faced. C I mean, cody truly is your QB one. So you have Cody Rhodes as your champion. Uh that's been proven to be pretty good business. Right? So Cody is your champion and then Randy. Randy, who has been uh a numbers guy, right? Spouting the numbers. He's been at twenty WrestleManians, but only main event to two of them.
Randy, who was just getting better with age. Randy who looks like he's having more fun than ever. Randy who gets such a ridiculous uh pop. Randy who ha has had some time off over the recent years at w for one reason or another, but most notably because of back injuries, once thought to be maybe career ending. And he has He's back. Again, he looks the best he's ever looked.
