What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Welcome to the Busted Open Podcast. This is Dave LaGreca. On today's episode, myself and Natty Neidhart talk about Asuka. What's her future in the WWE?
Why is Asuka's farewell significant in WWE?
And we get interrupted by Jada Parker. Also, Jacob Fatu and his main event match with Roman Reigns from Backlash. All that right now on the Busted Open Podcast. This is the busted open podcast. We have made at least for the time being are saying goodbye to Oscar.
What does Asuka's future look like in WWE?
Does that mean forever? Does that mean her WWE career is over that she's taking some time off? I really don't know.
How did Jada Parker's interruption change the conversation?
When are we going to find out? I have no idea. And what do you do now with Io Sky? Because Io Sky is definitely one of the best wrestlers in the WWE.
What was Jacob Fatu's performance like against Roman Reigns?
So who better to talk to and ask than the heartbeat of Busted Open herself, the low-key legend.
natty neidhart so so natty let me ask you like after what we saw at backlash and what we saw on monday night raw what's the future of oscar right now i mean i i think this is the million dollar question that everybody wants to know and you know i am somebody that i was there the night of backlash i wanted to be in gorilla to watch Asuka versus Io because, first of all, it's a dream match. It's a dream match for the entire world because these are two of the best women wrestlers in the entire world. Actually, two of the best wrestlers in the entire world. So it was something I just wanted to be there in person for, but... I could sense prior to the match that Asuka was really emotional. Yeah. And Asuka, for those of us that know Asuka, we know that she's not an overly emotional person.
In my entire time of knowing Asuka on the main roster, which has been over a decade, I have never ever seen Asuka cry ever. And before she went out through the curtain, I could sense that her eyes, I don't know, she just looked like she was about to cry.
What emotional moments did Asuka display during her match?
And because this means everything to her, and I think this match means everything to her. And this match, Asuka and Io, you don't just get to be two of the best women wrestlers, two of the best wrestlers hands down in the world by not having that kind of passion. So I felt that passion pouring out through Asuka. I felt like she also just had something weighing heavily on her heart. I don't know exactly what it is. And of course, my thing is, especially with girls in the locker room, that if women want to open up, I will let them open up. And I'm always going to be there to listen. But unless Asuka personally shares with me exactly what's going on, I'm not gonna pry, sort of thing. So they go out there, Asuka and Io give this master class in professional wrestling.
It was a beautiful match, the crowd was chanting, this is awesome. It was amazing. And then when Asuka got back, I don't know what it was, Dave, but I just had this feeling that something was going on with Asuka. But again, nothing has been confirmed. Nobody has said, hey, Asuka is retiring. Asuka has not said that she's retiring. I'm a big believer in, and I will say this now, and I will stand by this. Breaks are very healthy for people. And mental health and taking breaks. And I'm not saying it's Asuka's mental health. We don't know exactly what's going on. It could be a personal situation.
How has Asuka influenced other wrestlers like Io Sky?
I know Asuka is very, very close to her family. But whatever it is that's going on, if she needs to press pause, that is more than okay.
And I totally understand that. And you're right. Sometimes you need to take a step aside or take a step back and kind of reevaluate a situation. And maybe that's what Oscar needs to do, you know, maybe on a personal level or maybe even on a professional level. I'll go back to what you said at the beginning. That EO Sky Oscar match at Backlash, Natty, we're going to be talking about that match in December as one of the best matches of 2026. Oh, absolutely. That match, like you just said, was a master's class. There's no doubt about it.
And it was a match where two women were pouring their entire heart and soul onto the canvas, onto the mat. And they were painting this beautiful picture for the world to see that you don't just get to be great overnight.
