During the ROH Final Battle post-show media scrum, Lyric Swinton asked Komander about how he had stepped up for the company and worked hard throughout his journey.

"First and foremost, I want to thank Tony Khan. I’m very grateful. I believe my faith has attracted amazing people in my life. In my world, I have to give everything in order for the world to give back. I believe it stems from, I was a premature baby, a lot of people don’t know this, I almost died twice. That’s a very heavy burden that I do not taken lightly. I believe I have to keep going and help others and live my dream and passion to give back. I’m never going to give up. I’m going to keep going and keep trying and keep working," Komander said.

Tony Khan also spoke highly of Komander following his win.
