After the show ended, WWE commentator Corey Graves took to Twitter and praised Joe for his performance.

Seth Rollins vs Andrade
An early attempt at interference by Zelina Vega led to her dismissal from the ringside area but also opened Rollins up for an attack by his opponent. Andrade kept on dominating, but 'The Beastslayer' regained control by delivering a sling blade followed by a blockbuster. Later in the match, Andrade tried to double stomp Rollins, but the former Universal Champion dodged and delivered a falcon arrow for a two-count. The two kept going back-and-forth and guest commentator Samoa Joe revealed that the match between the two may never end. Right then, SmackDown's Lucha House Party came to the ring and attacked the superstars, drawing a disqualification.
