Welcome to the Busted Open Podcast. This is Dave LaGrecka. On today's episode, myself and Bully Ray talk Monday night raw and how about that main event match between Gunther and AJ Styles. Also seems to be something not only going on with Adam Pierce and Braun Breaker. But Paul Heyman as well. A lot to get into. Right here on the Busted Open Podcast. This is the Busted Open Podcast. Let's dive into the match that we were looking forward to to last night. The main event, Gunther versus AJ Styles. Interesting end. to that main event last night. You know, we talked a lot about Gunther, especially this story with AJ Styles. Neither one of us was very happy with the slap to Gunther and Gunther's reaction. We saw a different side of Gunther last night.
I'm interested to get your take, Bully, of what did you think of the match, but more importantly, what did you think of the end of the match last night between Gunther and AJ? Let's play a little game.
Do you think I loved or hated the finish of the match? I think you loved it. Absolutely loved it. Great. Yeah. And I've only seen that finish done. Once, maybe twice before. And I love the blind tap. Because it shows how smart Gunther is. I'm in a lot of pain right now. So I'm gonna tap out. But I'm gonna tap out in a way where the referee doesn't see it. The referee can acknowledge it, but AJ feels the tap. Thus, AJ releases the hold. The calf crusher, the calf killer, the calf immobilizer. I have huge calves. I am calfzilla. He releases the hold. In releasing the hold, AJ thinks he's won because Gunther tapped. The referees looking at AJ like, why what are you doing? The match is still going on. What do you mean you won?
You didn't win. He didn't tap. I didn't see him tap. AJ saying yes he did. And now in the meantime, the referee uh uh Gunther prepares to do the dirty work of the nut shot on AJ. The referee doesn't see it, and then the power bomb finish. The only thing that was a little weird to me, Dave, want to get your opinion on this too, is why the referee needed to go over to Alicia Taylor. Like Alicia Taylor wasn't a part of this. There was no bell rung. Alicia Taylor would not have made an announcement. It was a way for them to get the referee to turn his back so the nutshot could happen. I thought they could have done it in a more realistic way.
Well, I mean and and and tell me if I'm wrong, 'cause I actually like this too. I think Alicia Taylor was the first one to go to the ring, kinda like questioning like what's going like what's going on here. So he a the referee addressed her, like, No, the there's go away. Like this match is still on. There's this match is not over. And then and then in those few seconds, you know, Gunther hit the nutshot on AJ S I'm pretty positive. I'm sure Paul or somebody will correct me. I think Alicia approach the ring questioning like what's
going on here. Okay, I thought I saw the referee go to Alicia. If you're telling me that there was a split second moment in You might be right. I'm I'm pretty sure she kind of approached the ring. I I don't know why the ring announcer would approach the ring, but it's just a tiny little detail.
How did Gunther defeat AJ Styles and why do the hosts love the finish?
Paul, I see you popping on. Did you wanna say something? Can you help clear this up? What do you got? What do you need? What's going on? What's shaking?
It did I'll go back and check the replay, but from what I r recall, I didn't see an angle of Alicia coming forward first. I only saw the angle of the referee leaning out in in which time Alicia would have then approached him.
That's exactly that's exactly what I saw. And that was the little disconnect to me. Like AJ's up, he's telling the referee, I won, I won. The referee's saying, no, you didn't, you didn't. And then the referee turns around to walk over to Alicia and immediately it's those little things, those little things that you people don't think mean that much, but they mean the world. turns around, goes to the ring announcements say, No, no, no, the matches continue. That nobody won. I'm like Well well, okay, yeah, we know nobody won. But they did that to get the ref to turn his back.
