Speaking in an interview with MuscleManMalcolm, Jinder reflected on the match and the experience of calling it in the ring with the former 14-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

"Yeah, I believe, it's gotta be in his last ten or six or something near that. It was awesome. That crowd was incredible that night. Actually, another funny story about that night. In the arena, there was a huge crack, and they couldn't sit in the arena. On the side of the arena, the whole wall, kind of where the bleachers were, was a giant crack. So they couldn't sit anybody in that section. But we're lucky that the show went on," he said. "Everybody was safe. It was a great match. It was a fun match. I think I've shared this story before. When we got to the venue that day, I hadn't seen Hunter all day or anytime before. He got busy doing media interviews, I was getting pulled a million different directions, and we never really had time to call it until like intermission time, as we're getting ready, warming up, we called the main parts of it, the finish, etc, and the rest, mainly, he just called in the ring."
