What are the main highlights of RAW after WrestleMania 42?
Welcome to the Busted Open Podcast. This is Dave LaGreca. On today's episode, myself, Bully, and Nick Nemetok, Monday Night Raw, Roman Reigns, Jacob Fatu, Cody, and Punk. We break it all down right here on the Busted Open Podcast. This is the Busted Open Podcast. We talked about could you have Oba Femi jump right in and have a program with Roman Reigns. And could Jacob Fatu be a World Heavyweight Champion? Well, it looks like they're going to wait a little bit for Obafemi, and it looks like they're going to jump in to have a program with Jacob Fatu and Roman right off the bat. So, Nick, let me ask you, what did you think of the end of Monday Night Raw, and what did you think of that little face-off between Jacob and Roman last night?
I felt the full extent of it. It's Roman walking to the ring and then stopping mid-gorilla to be like, hey, come on, guys. Organically bringing the cousins to the ring. So thinking that, I was like, okay, cool. Where are they going with this? The face-off, I thought it was good and the crowd was into it. And I know there's this long story here. I just thought it could have ended... bigger somehow. And I, I, I like where they're going. I like where the all gas, no brakes.
What were the key moments from the Jacob Fatu and Roman Reigns confrontation?
You're going right, right into Roman. If he says so next week, at least there's a little bit of a cliffhanger. There's a piece there. I just thought there could be something other than just being hungry for that championship. I think there was one more step to go. You don't need a crazy return out of nowhere. We don't need violence. There needed to be one more other than like, not just, I want that championship. I need that championship. There was one more piece there. Because the bloodline things always seem to be so much more serious and engulfed and thrillered and mystery that you like to listen to. And there's something bigger there, I think.
Nick, I asked Mark and Tommy yesterday whether or not they thought Jacob Fatu could become world heavyweight champion. If there was that much to him, if creative really saw it in him. So I'm going to ask you, do you think he can? And if the answer is yes, would he be a transitional champion? Or would he be a guy that they would consciously put the strap on and run with?
those are two great questions. Yeah, it's one thing to say, hey, can this guy be world champion one day? Yeah. Someone like LA Knight, I'm really into him. I'm a fan. The people are behind him. Can he be champ? Yeah. It could happen, but I just at this point doesn't feel like the company would fully be behind it. So it wouldn't be, I don't know if it'd be transitional, but it just wouldn't be like, this is a, we're giving it out to someone who just got it because they worked hard and we like them. And then it's going to something else, which they have fought to. Can he be? Absolutely. There's so much time to go, but, uh, already quickly, uh, when it's one of those, what's like a Bron breaker situation, uh,
or a Leon Slater where they're picking it up so quick that these can be those handful that sneak through and break that glass up. They don't have to wait until they're a certain age. They can just get out there and go.
Bully, did it look like Jacob Fatu belonged in the same ring with Roman?
Because of the past history, yes. I like what Jacob said, but I still, I loved Jacob and Drew from WrestleMania from night one. It was my match of the night and I know why from a physicality point of view. I love Jacob Fatu. I don't know if I was feeling it as much as I would like to have felt it. And if I'm saying that this morning, that means he didn't grab me by the throat. It's good. It's there. But it needs to... Dolph says he can't put his finger on it. Nick said he can't put his finger on it. But there was something more that he would have liked to have heard. He might have wanted to hear certain words. I wanted to feel a certain more tone. I wanted to feel something a little bit more intense. I wanted to feel something where when it was all over, I wanted to say to myself, holy shit.
