What is the current WWE Undisputed title picture involving Drew McIntyre, Cody Rhodes, and Jacob Fatu?
Hey guys, this is Denise Salcedo with the world's strongest man, Mark Henry, and welcome to the Busted Open Podcast. To kick off the show, Mark and I discuss the world title picture surrounding Drew McIntyre. This is the Busted Open Podcast. I want to kick things off, of course, with Friday Night SmackDown. A nice three-hour show last night that I gotta be honest, I loved last night's episode of SmackDown. I felt we had a fantastic crowd, by the way. We had a lot of really good matches and kind of a lot of storyline stuff that happened, and the world title picture surrounding Drew McIntyre. He's like the sun. And we got a bunch of, we got a bunch of wrestlers all around him that are, you know, trying to get to that world championship.
So I guess let's start right there. Drew McIntyre is being sought after by Cody Rhodes, Jacob Fatu. He had shots thrown at him on Monday Night Raw, which we'll get to in just. A second. He even had a confrontation with Trick Williams. Let's kind of start off with what we saw last night from Cody Rhodes and Drew because Cody was pissed that Drew McIntyre eliminated him from the Royal Rumble as he should be, by the way. And I do want to go ahead and roll that Cody Rhodes audio to hear what he had to say.
This past Monday, I watched two of the very best, two men I respect, Roman Reigns and CM Punk, not just declare their hatred, but declare their championship match. And as the biggest WWE fan. I was excited. I was excited. But why? when this amazing moment has concluded. Is my name the first name that comes out of your mouth? It's simple. It's because people know what WrestleMania means to me, what I mean to WrestleMania. And besides, I heard that it was gonna be a you know what measuring contest. Well they're both glad I'm not in it because I didn't get the nickname Raheem for no reason. Charlotte, North Carolina, what do you wanna talk about?
W
no one m was expecting that
Hey, nobody hey, come on now, Cody, you gotta cut it out. Like you we'll we not doing that.
Oh, it's been done, Mark. It's been done. And it's the most talked about thing from last night's show. The
lights went out. They when when Cody said that, the lights went out. It got dark in the room. Oh my gosh. I I love the fact that Cody Spoke. out of control and with emotion. And I I I d I said this on After Dark last night. That When Cody goes off. The dusty roads comes out. He loses the ability to regulate his voice and breathing. And he's erratic. His list comes back baby like the dream and we get the hit and and it's it's I love that Cody. But people look at that as being a dark side and I don't see it as a dark side. I see it as Cody wanting to be so polished. That He won't let his primal nature out. And how good Can you be when you're free? When you're not holding back, when you're not trying to Change. For the masses.
Like you think that you love Cody now? Let Raheem out.
Or should we let Raheem out?
I
don't know.
Let let that wild Cody out. Don't leave leave leave leave Raheem where he is. But we need Cody to be authentically who he is. You're more powerful when you're not trying to dummy down for everybody. I always say when I get angry, I can't I'm not articulate. I can't communicate. I become a Neanderthal. I w all I want is blood. And I s and when I say stuff, I say stuff in sound bites. I don't say stuff in long chaliloquies about how I'm gonna get it done. I won't I want Cody to be that because he can be. And when he is that. You it's gonna be perceived as him being a heel, but Is he really? Look at Drew McIntyre. Is Drew McIntyre a heel? Oh, by the way, coming off of that promo Where where did Drew McIntyre lie?
He is not lying. And the number one thing about a heel is you lie when the truth affairs. But Drew McIntyre is not lying. You know what Drew McIntyre is?
How did Cody Rhodes react to being eliminated by Drew McIntyre at the Royal Rumble?
A whiner. He won't take credit for the things that he do. And when he does say it, talk about it, he whines and complains and moans, and nobody likes that.
I don't feel like that's Drew McIntyre that much anymore. He feels like there's been a shift in him ever since he won the title.
