What happened on RAW in Cleveland that set the tone for Elimination Chamber?
Welcome to the Busted Open After Dark podcast. I'm your host, Tommy Dreamer. And the road to the elimination chamber continues. This stop, Cleveland, Ohio, and I'm gonna talk about it right now.
This is the Busted Open Podcast.
I liked how the show opened up. You know, you do the walk-ins and they introduce a lot of the talent. Uh, did a little bit differently tonight, big pop, here comes CM Punk. And then out of nowhere. A lovely surprise, the lovely AJ Lee is there with her husband. And as they're walking in a crazed Becky Lynch. Sees all this, and she's not happin' it. And I like that. And a lot of times people don't see other people walking in, uh, or behind them. So it was just a cool little thing. Uh that happened to kinda set the tone. For what you're gonna see. uh for the rest of the show and it really did continue to Um Tell some nice stories between the two. Which Helps us to get to our Elimination Chamber, which also will help us hopefully to get to WrestleMania.
Uh a lot of moving parts tonight. We also then come back and we open up with what was speculated uh today. Me and Mark Henry talked about it on Off the Ropes. The legitimate injury that the internet was reporting. Well obviously it is true and they Um, talked about it right off the bat. With uh Braun Breaker suffering a hernia uh while training, they said, and he will now be out indefinitely. Probably if having major surgery like that he's gonna be out miss WrestleMania. Card subject to change. Um we will get into All of that as well, but Braunbreaker, I wish you a speedy, speedy recovery. It's uh it sucks. These things happen at the worst times. Um, but Heal up, your spot will be there. and continue to be on that path that you kinda wanna continue to be on, Hernia's no joke.
Um and Paul Heyman put it over very, very well in his promo. Um back to Then the business at hand we opened up the show with Becky, and Becky wasn't having it. And Becky was very, very Uh crazy Karen ish. And kinda rattled and then here came AJ Lee and AJ's uh music. She's skipping to the ring. And Becky is not having it. Here's my favorite part about AJ Lee. She has this bubbly um personality. People ignite when they see her, but
How did Braun Breaker’s hernia injury affect the upcoming Elimination Chamber card?
Then She's I don't know and hopefully the nation could tell me like her type of humor. It's not self-deprecating. But it's just like I don't understand why you're so uh mad at me. Oh wait, it's like yeah, I did uh do this to you and than, you know, that oh wait, I did do that to you. But she also sells Becky's anger so so well. But how she comes across She's super lovable. She's super cute. She's the girl next door with an edge. Um Becky kind of falls for it where Becky continues to go nuts and saying there's no way you should be in my ring um after all this stuff that's happened to her because she's uh been amazing in her whole transformation for how she's been uh in this amazing heel run. Where she basically like says like well, like
I'd give you a title shop. And my other favorite part about all this, like I wasn't here for you. But you're calling me out I'm here to cheer on my friend Maxine. Now we're also getting some connective tissue now. So Maxine and AJ are friends. Um we also have had some alignment with Natty and Becky. uh back to the banter back and forth and then it's almost like, well, then this could be made official and we're gonna see the first singles match and title match in ten years. For AJ Lee, which is pretty damn cool. Uh that she's coming back. Obviously when she re signed there's a lot of scuttle butt, whether it was first for a one shot Then it said, Nope, she's gonna be doing a lot more business. And if this takes me to a another AJ
WrestleMania moment. I think that would be cool uh for her. And in her career? And if it's with Becky or somebody else, but they they're setting up the table nicely. Um All that being said, the Natty in her new version of Natty, UFC Natty. We've seen this, we've wanted this. Maxine comes, they have this match. And this is kinda why I need The nation uh kinda call in Uh eight seven seven three four four four eight nine three because
