- Post-match, Kazarian gets on the mic and says that's how you start out the year. Kazarian says that the challenge was put out the next he and Daniels lose together, they will be done as a team forever. He doesn't see that happening on his watch. Daniels takes the mic and says he has Matt and Nick's back, other than the night they face the champions in the ring for the titles. The two team shake hands and celebrate a bit more.

- Jon Moxley heads out to the ring and gets on a mic. Moxley says fans may have expected him to come out here and cuss up a storm about what happened during his title match against Kenny Omega. He says life isn't fair, sometimes you're given a bad deal, and just take it on the chin. Moxley says that's when you stand your ground and don't give in an inch. Moxley says an appropriate response would be to find Omega and Don Callis, then beat them down with a crowbar. With a title match taking place, he's not going to take the opportunity away from Rey Fenix who has scratched his way to the top for 13 years. It's not his right to change someone else's destiny. Moxley then tells Omega that he's not safe, and when he says he's going to do something, he will do it. "The boogieman will forever be lurking over your shoulder!" Moxley says Omega is going to one day realize he crossed the wrong guy.
