After the match, ESPN caught up with Cody and Pyscho Clown, who gave their thoughts on Velasquez' performance.

"He did awesome. He should not have been that good. He shouldn't have. But he was. Freak athlete," said Cody.

When asked about the possibility of Cain joining All Elite Wrestling, Cody answered, "Maybe," but quickly mentioned that he would like to bring Psycho Clown to the promotion first.
