Britt Baker hit the ring and unloaded on Jericho with a kendo stick, retribution for the assault she suffered at the hands of The Outcasts in the build to the match. When Saraya attempted to make the save for The Ocho, she suffered the same fate.

The current plan is for Grace to take some time off from wrestling where she’ll be focusing on some additional projects. It should be noted that there has been interest from higher ups in multiple companies.

Finally, it was noted that Grace has reached millionaire status through her paywall site. She often posts adult content on that platform.

Following the main event, Scott D’Amore made good on his promise to strap the belt around Steve Maclin’s waist. Afterward, Bully Ray came through the crowd and entered the ring, blindsiding Scott D’Amore. Maclin and Ray grabbed a table and looked to cover it in lighter fluid. Matthew Rehwoldt left his commentary position to try and help D’Amore only to be sprayed with lighter fluid. PCO returned to the ring and brawled with Maclin. The Motor City Machine Guns attempted to break things up, but was overpowered by Ray.
