Chapter 1: 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 Bully Ray talk Monday Night Raw. Oba Femi is heating up in the King of the Ring tournament. Also, the return of Chad Gable. Reactions? We give them to you right now on the Busted Open Podcast. This is the Busted Open Podcast. Opa Femi.
Chapter 2: What are the highlights from WWE RAW regarding Oba Femi?
So you got Opa Femi winning the whole damn thing. Going on to SummerSlam to not only face Roman Reigns, but also to face Brock Lesnar in a two-night SummerSlam. Why not?
Why not? That's my ideal scenario. I have other scenarios that are a lot safer, that are... That are, you know, basically 101. And you just came up with a great scenario that keeps Brock versus Oba in night one. And that puts Jay versus Roman in night two. But I'm a big believer in when the stars align in the pro wrestling business and there's an opportunity to do something, you do it.
the final match we would have had with the Hardys, the final table, you know, when we retired, that would have never have happened unless the stars lined up in a certain way. It was done for a very specific reason because it was the 25-year anniversary of the first table match, these two teams, yada, yada. It made sense. The story made sense. Everything was on the line. Stars lined up.
You got to take advantage of it. I think the stars are lining up for Obafemi and the WWE in a way that I don't remember ever lining up before. You know, the WWE is big on first time ever. And how do we really make a star? If Obafemi would have come out of SummerSlam weekend not only defeating Brock Lesnar and retiring Brock Lesnar but came out as your WWE champion, wow.
Chapter 3: What scenarios are possible for Oba Femi at SummerSlam?
Wow. He's the guy. He is the guy. I'm playing devil's advocate because I can hear it. I can hear it. Well, where do we go from here? What's next? Well, we'll come up with a returning Bronson Reed. I love it. A returning Bronson Reed. Obafemi's first night on Monday Night Raw after SummerSlam, blah, blah, blah. I'm the champion. Bronson Reed attacks him and destroys him. There's something.
CM Punk returns and says, kid, I've been away for a while. You may have a name for yourself. Wow. Let me introduce myself one more time. I'm CM Punk. Whatever. There's places to go. Now, your suggestion? We can hold off on Roman and Oba for a while? Or if somebody would... I don't want anybody defeating Roman Reigns at SummerSlam. Other than Oba Femi.
Remember Roman said, I'll be around throughout the summer? Which guarantees he's going to be here, but... Maybe after the summer's over, he's going to split?
I would say by the time the fall comes around, we're going to see very little of Roman Reigns, if at all.
So I don't want, in your scenario, let's just say Jey Uso went on to face Roman Reigns, right? And Jey defeated Roman. I don't want to see Oba versus Jey Uso. After WrestleMania, Obafemi dropped Roman Reigns' name and Roman Reigns dropped Obafemi's name. That's what I would love to see. Obafemi can defeat Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns in back-to-back nights? Wow. Wow.
That's what strapping a rocket to somebody's back looks like and feels like.
Listen, I'm all for it. Like, you sold me. Like, I think the Jey Uso Roman would be a good fallback plan based on the story that's being told on Monday Night Raw. You can't go wrong with that. Do fans want to see Jey Uso holding the championship again? I don't know. Do people want to see Obafemi holding that championship? I think they do.
And I know we keep comparing it to Hulk Hogan because Hulk Hogan was that lightning in the bottle. Hulk Hogan was with the WWF when he came back for, what, a month? before he was facing the Iron Sheik and then won the championship and then he held on it for the most part of a decade after. You talk about what's next.
I'll tell you, do you even remember what was next for Hulk Hogan after beating the Iron Sheik?

Chapter 4: How does the return of Chad Gable impact WWE's storyline?
You want to know if you're over or not? Just stand there and see how they respond. Roman will just stand there, stoic, and take it all in. Oba is having his moments where he just stands there and he takes it all in. But as far as aura is concerned, very few have it. I would love to know what they are doing, what they are planning to do with SummerSlam and the two nights.
I would love to be involved in this discussion for Obafemi. To pitch the idea, to try to sell somebody on the idea.
Listen, you got me. Because you said it. When you first brought it up, I was like, I don't know. But now that you brought it up with the scenario because it ties in Brock, it's a two-night SummerSlam. We saw similar to same scenario at WrestleMania 40. I don't see why not. And here's the other thing is you have to look at, all right, if not Oba, then who?
So I'm going to throw out these names because these are the names that are players that could be in the main event at SummerSlam either against Cody Rhodes or Roman Reigns. And I want you to be honest here and be realistic. Domestika.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Go ahead. Am I being honest and realistic because I'm comparing it to the main event of Roman and Oba?
No, that this could be a main event at SummerSlam. Okay, go ahead. Dom Mysterio against either Cody or Roman.
I'd rather see Dom versus Cody.
Okay. Now, they're both... Most likely, though, Dom would go after Roman because Dom is on Monday Night Raw and Cody's on SmackDown. You got to factor that in because you're building towards TV. Javon Evans...
Yes, but Javon winning the world championship, it would be a cool moment, but that's all it would be is a moment.
