What is the Night of Champions event about?
Welcome to the Busted Open Podcast. This is Dave LaGreca. On today's episode, myself and maybe your new TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Nick Nemeth at the Slammiversary. Right here on the Busted Open Podcast, we give our preview of WWE's Night of Champions. Right now, on the Busted Open Podcast. This is the Busted Open Podcast. I do want to get into Night of Champions. Um, so we got the king of the ring tournament final and the queen of the ring tournament file.
Who are the contenders in the Queen of the Ring final?
I did not think we were going to get this match, but we're getting it. EO sky versus live Morgan. I thought for sure Charlotte was going to move on and be in the finals. EO sky and live Morgan. Now live Morgan is a champion. So when you look at EO Sky and Liv, who do you got for this Queen of the Ring final coming up tomorrow afternoon?
Liv already being the champion makes me think that she somehow gets through this. So Eosky has been absolutely on the top of so many people's lists for years at this point and delivers and comes through. But yeah, we all, I thought, you know, I think the consensus was everywhere else on this channel was that we were going Raquel and Liv at some point down the line. And when that didn't happen... I went, okay, all bets are off. Let's see. And Io, who clearly delivers all the time and is always in a big spot for the women and rightly so. But Liv, old school, I'm a fan of hers. I like the growth that she's made. I'd like to see her come through here, and then maybe we go champion, champion.
Listen, I love it, but I'm looking at it on the other side. This is what I love about both these finals, that it's a win-win for fans because every scenario, I think, is a good one. I love your scenario. Liv Morgan wins, and she goes on to face Rhea Ripley in maybe a championship unification match at SummerSlam. Liv versus Rhea would be huge. However, I think I might like Io Sky more.
What predictions are made for the Queen of the Ring match?
We know that Io Sky and Rhea Ripley are best friends. They're best buddies. If Io Sky beats Liv Morgan and wins Queen of the Ring, well, she's already beaten Liv Morgan. Why go back and go and face somebody that you've already beaten? The only challenge that's left for her is Rhea Ripley. Now that's going to test their friendship. And who knows? Maybe we see a returning Oscar to be by EO sky side to go up against Rhea Ripley. I I'm just throwing it out there. But again, the thing I love about it is that both scenarios work for me.
What are the stakes for the King of the Ring final?
They both do.
Yeah. And that's really like, I appreciate that no matter what the story is, what the company is, what the backstory, what the last couple, six months for anybody is that you have these two in EO Sky versus Live and whoever wins, you're like, yeah, that makes sense. as long as you're going into another story from it. So there's, there's, there's tie-ins to Rhea on the other side, either way. But I, I, and EO constantly, I feel like there's this air around her that everyone's just like, man, she's just so unstoppable. She's so good. She's so, but I'm old school. I've been a fan of Liv for a long time and I've watched her go from good to great. And I like watching it. Like I watched Roman for years. I was like, man, he's, he's good.
He's good, but he's being forced. And then finally, one day I watch and I go, man, this dude is an 11 out of 10 blue chip. This is the effing man when he stands there. And I got to watch Liv do a similar thing. Liv was doing okay in a three-woman group. and then did pretty good, and then was killing it, and then watching her get this character and go into her own, I am rooting for her every step of the way. So I'm behind Liv because I'm biased, but these two going together, it could be magic.
I love what you just said about live.
How do Jey Uso and Oba Femi's stories intertwine?
And I remember a few years back, there was a documentary on live Morgan where it always felt like live. There was like a lot of start stops. Like it looked like she was about to get to that next level and it just never happened. And I remember that documentary at the end, she's just talking about, you know, appreciating the ride and trusting the process.
