🎧 Listen to the full episode on Busted Open Radio


CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns feud

Listen, Roman, second highest arena gate record in company history. 19,346 people showed up in Chicago because I am a fighting champion. You can sit at home and we're going to call you Rusty Raines when you show up in Las Vegas and I got a GTS for you and every one of your stupid family members.

CM Punk

WrestleMania plans

In a heartbeat, I made that decision to drop Cody with an RKO. Now he's a long-time friend, I hate doing it, but do I really hate doing it? No, I don't. I'm going to WrestleMania, I'm main eventing WrestleMania, I deserve to be in the main event of WrestleMania.

Randy Orton

Career goals

I had a career-threatening injury, I had a spinal fusion, and I didn't think I was going to be able to wrestle again. So when I came back, I was grateful for every second that I was in that ring. I got to get mine, too. I got to get number 15. I got to beat Cena's number 17, Flair's number 16.

Randy Orton

Finn Balor storyline

I gotta think his leaving the Judgment Day is coming. That's what we're gonna see between now and Mania and he's gonna have a match I guess either against Dom or JD. That's where I'll be the most critical of what they do with Finn.

Justin LaBar

WrestleMania records

Tonight was my 196th PLE and it was in my 10th Elimination Chamber which means I'm going to main event at WrestleMania. It'll be my 21st WrestleMania and I'm gonna set a record there too in a few years.

Randy Orton

CM Punk's legacy

CM Punk is the greatest to ever come out of Chicago in professional wrestling. He gets the best reactions. He has the best relatability. He's the embodiment of what Chicago is, flawed but yet great.

Jonathan Hood
