In a SmackDown Exclusive, Santos Escobar commented on his win.

"The stipulation was no LDF, and no LWO. Last time I checked, ‘Dirty Dom’ is Judgment Day. He’s not Legado Del Fantasma, he’s not LWO. But the one thing we have in common is that we both hate Rey Mysterio," Escobar said.

When asked whether Dominik's interference cheapened the win, Escobar let Dominik answer the question. Dominik stated that a win was a win, and the Judgment Day ran WWE.

"First of all, Byron, a win’s a win. It doesn’t matter how it comes. A win is a win. The Judgment Day runs all. Monday Night Raw, Friday Night SmackDown, it doesn’t matter. So like I said, a win is a win," Dominik Mysterio said.

Escobar also took to social media to state that he finished his story by defeating Rey Mysterio.
