While speaking to WhatCulture Wrestling for a new interview, Santana said that he was just ready to get the feud over with so he could start a new journey outside of AEW.

"Not my show. It was one of those things...I’m thankful I’ve gotten to a point in my life and my career that, I’d say a couple of years back that would have rattled my brain. So much history (between us), but it’s like, ‘Alright, cool. Let’s get it over with so I can start on my new journey and keep it pushing.’ That’s exactly how I looked at it. We had a good couple of week build up. We had that good match. We let out what we needed to let out, and it was over after that. I wished him the best and for me, it was no hard feelings, no nothing. It was the end of a chapter and the beginning of a new one. That was it for me."
