Speaking on Grilling JR, Ross discussed filming the segment and made it clear that he enjoyed the experience.

“I went to Daily’s Place, ironically. I hadn’t been to Daily’s Place in months and months, after being there for every week for seemingly forever during the COVID piece of business. We filmed the interview with Kenny Omega, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I love doing these sit-down interviews. It was just so refreshing and something different. We don’t have a script. We had an outline of things that we wanted to address, so that was really cool. Then of course the obligatory bad guys made their presence felt on the empty stage there at Daily’s, and all hell broke loose. It was a real good piece of business. I was very pleased to be a part of it. I think the fans are going to thoroughly enjoy it, unless you don’t like seeing Kenny Omega get the shit beat out of him, and that’s exactly what happened. For those that haven’t seen it, I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but it’s worth going out of your way to make sure you see it because it was really compelling," Ross said.
