Towards the end of the bout, R-Truth would shockingly storm the ring, hitting Cena with the WWE title. In a new post on his Instagram story, Logan reacted to Truth's WWE return, stating that while others wanted him back, Paul does not. "Had some time to digest the match tonight. Man, I think it's safe to say that John and I were clearly the better team. We had a little disagreement, a little miscommunication in the middle there, but that's neither here nor there. Look, it's like I said last week, Cody and Jey are cheaters, man. They only won because R-Truth came back. That's an objective fact. I said it last week, they can't do anything in this business without having it handed to them, and R-Truth got unfired for whatever reason, and he came back and cost me and John the better team the match. So, that's what I have to say about that. R-Truth, man, everyone else wants you back. I don't."

Elayna Black once again discusses her WWE release. Last month, Elayna Black, previously known as Cora Jade, was released from her WWE contract along with a slew of other WWE superstars. Since then, Black has commented on her release and possibly heading to AEW on multiple occasions. While speaking to TMZ in a new interview, Black spoke about her release once again, noting that she had a gut feeling. "I feel like it.. anyone probably has like, and the company has that little inkling in the back of their head just because it is so cutthroat and cuts do happen often. So I wouldn't say that it was a shock only because I've said before, I'm very like good with my intuition. I don't know why I just always have been. I've always just had like a gut feeling. Then when I feel that it just tends to happen. I did have that gut feeling maybe like two weeks prior, especially when I was in Vegas for Mania. I was rooming with Roxanne, she's my best friend, and all week I was just making sure to really like take it in and enjoy everything. I did matches at WWE World. I did promos at WWE World. We had so much fun and I got to do it all with my best friend. But I did have that feeling that I was going to be gone soon. So I was trying to enjoy it. I remember, I think it was my last actual match there was I wrestled Sol Ruca on a live event. I just knew, I don't know. I just knew that it was going to be my last time there. So I just took a lot of time. In my entrance, I had fun in the match. I took a long time afterwards. I signed autographs, which I never really do because I'm a heel, I'm a bad guy. But I knew that. I was like, well, that's a wrap. Sure as hell it was a week later, that following Friday."
