Welcome to the Busted Open Podcast. This is Dave LaGreca. On today's episode, myself and Bully Ray talk about Cody Rhodes and CM Punk. It's official for SummerSlam. Also, the big return of Baron Corbin right here on the Busted Open Podcast. This is the Busted Open Podcast. I'm guessing most likely your two main events, Bully, are going to be Seth Rollins versus Roman Reigns. For the WWE World Championship. And then CM Punk and Cody Rhodes. For your undisputed WWE Championship. And if those are your two main events. Which most likely it will be. That's Babyface versus Babyface. Babyface versus Babyface. Interesting. When you're this close to SummerSlam. Having two main event matches. Both are Babyface versus Babyface.
Very unlike the WWE World Championship.
Correct. There is no clear-cut definitive heel, but there is animosity and history in both matches. More in Roman in Seth than Cody and Punk.
So with Roman and Seth, like you said, there is a long story. You understand the animosity. Even though there's two babyfaces, you get it. They were teamed together. They were part of the shield. Seth turned. Seth gave his reasons last Monday. Long form. He gave his reasons last Monday why he did what he did because Roman was the golden child, the chosen one, and he had to fight and claw for everything he had. I get it. I still think that there needs to be a babyface heel when it comes to CM Punk and Cody Rhodes. And I think, and I want to get your take, I want to get the nation's take, I think now is the perfect time to turn CM Punk. Fair enough. Can you do it? And I'll ask you, can you do it and can it work?
Yes. Okay. Punk has shown in the past that he has the verbal skills to get people to not like him. Whether it's what he says to the audience or what he says to his opponent.
How are SummerSlam's two main events being framed as babyface vs babyface matchups?
With Cody, we're still waiting for that day. To see what he has. I don't think he has it in him. I know he has it in him. One of the things that I wish could happen in Cody and Punk's promos leading up, or their story leading up to SummerSlam, which I know is never going to happen, because we don't have much longer until SummerSlam, though. What do we have, two, three weeks? Yeah, I think this coming Friday will be two weeks. One of the things that I would love to hear from the both of them is the part of history that they share that they will never be allowed to talk about. What's that? AEW. I'm just talking about, huh? Yeah, they would never be able, they would never do that. I understand that. But imagine if that was allowed.
That would be fresh dialogue of how I felt about you for those two years that we spent together. Or look at what you did. Or look at what you ran away from. They both went there. They both wound up leaving. They both are in this spot about to wrestle. That's fresh dialogue, Dave. I know it's not going to happen, but I just want to throw that out there as if I was in charge of something, I would want to hear that.
Yeah, I mean, they could allude to it. They could allude to it by saying that they were gone. They don't have to necessarily mention AEW. But here's the problem I have with it. Go ahead. Here's the problem I have with it, and this is why I think that I would love to see a turn, especially with the CM Punk. It's because the whole, like, you left and came back, like, that was done to death with Seth Rollins and Punk. Like talking about life outside of the WWE and all that.
But they both left and came back. It's something that they share. It's like their stories run parallel and side by side. Punk left WWE. Cody left WWE. Cody went to AEW. Punk went to AEW. Cody showed up back in the WWE. Punk showed up back in the WWE. I'm a champion. I'm a champion. Now we're fighting each other for a championship. If there's a way to tell that story,
