Welcome to the Busted Open Podcast. This is Dave LaGreca. On today's episode, Natty Nighthart describes how Cody Rhodes losing the undisputed WWE Championship is a good thing. All that right now on the Busted Open Podcast. This is the Busted Open Podcast. I'm gonna be honest with you, Natty, because I'm always honest with you. I have not been in the best of moods this week. This is not this has been a tough week for me. I believe because my guy, Cody Rhodes, lost the championship this past Friday. On SmackDown. You know, I'm a big Cody fan. I think Cody has done so much for the WWE. You know, he's he's the perfect example of somebody who bet on himself and came out shining on the other side. And I think he's done and he I feel he's a big reason for the huge success of this company.
I agree. Over the last few years. Obviously couldn't get it done on SmackDown last Friday. We have a new uh undisputed champion in Drew McIntyre.
I think it but I I will say I know you're upset about Cody losing the title, but I texted Cody and I was like, Cody, you guys had he and Drew had a killer, killer match. I mean, it was very unique. I love the I love the three different stages of the match. I think that's even more like they did some they they went in. Like they they went they went a little crazy and there was a lot of like Man, like when I was like I think I think it this is exactly what Cody needs, to be perfectly honest, because when Roman lost to Cody, Roman became a whole lot more interesting to me, if I'm gonna be honest. I was all of a sudden like I I think Roman You don't you know, you don't think Roman can get any more over when he lost to Cody, he got more over.
I think that it's important for people to rise up from something. And maybe, maybe Cody needs this. You know what I mean? Like I feel like Cody needs to. Regroup, recalibrate, refocus, and rise up from something. You can't have the ultimate baby face if there's not a story of them chasing something. And it's been a minute, Dave, since Cody's chased something. I kinda wanna see and I'm I'm trying to I'm trying to be a little bit of an antagonist here to you to you. I kinda wanna see Cody Shea something. And Drew Drew McIntyre likes being like Jade, he likes being an instigator. You know, he's posting like he's he he Drew loves it. He loves he loves teasing people, he loves mocking people. But the thing about Drew is that he can, you know, he he really
He'll talk shit, but he also goes in the ring and he delivers. So I think that Drew is gonna be a challenge. He's gonna be a problem for a lot of people. He's gonna be a problem for For you know, a lot of top guys. Um, but we also saw Jacob Fatou, you know, we saw Jacob Fatu return, which what did you think about that?
Uh, that it was great.
Why is Cody Rhodes losing the WWE Championship considered beneficial for his career?
I mean, I love J I'm a big fan of Jacob Fatou. And again, it makes you you just said something in a word that I haven't heard over this last week. And that's why I love talking to you. And that's interesting. What I saw on Sunday and coming out of Friday on SmackDown, Natty, is it things have just gotten more interesting. More interesting with Drew 'cause now he has that championship title. Cody is now back on the chase, but now Jacob Fatou. And who was it who attacked Jacob Fatou? You know, Jacob Fatou probably doesn't know. And and now both Drew and Cody put hands on Jacob Fatou. And if you really look at it, Jacob Fatu cost Cody Rhodes that championship. So Things got very interesting between those three
in the WWE. And I mean it's it's cool because now it leaves me as a viewer going, where is this going? You know, where is this going? And Jacob, I mean, Jacob's been he's been training with us um at the dungeon for the last few last last little while. I won't say how long. Um because I don't I don't wanna ruin anything, but But but Jacob's been training with us at the dungeon getting ready for his return. And um he's been putting in work. Now, if Drew McIntyre thinks that he's gonna be a problem. I mean, Jacob is going to be a real problem because Jacob, I've seen this killer in Jacob.
