Ivar recalled watching the night's main event match backstage on the monitor with others and being confused by the commotion of a person in a suit entering the ring that as they were not made aware. This person was McMahon, who then endorsed Brian Milonas, the match's heel, before being confronted by Cena.

"Vince takes the worst Attitude Adjustment ever, just as bad as that last Stunner he took, and he rolls out of the ring, goes over the guardrail out to a limo and takes off," Ivar remarked referring to McMahon's blunder at WrestleMania 38. "The only people who knew (McMahon was appearing) were John, and the promoter James [Jamitkowski], and they weren't even sure if he was actually gonna show up... Pretty wild he would do that for John."

This was not McMahon's first appearance in an independent promotion as he made an appearance on USWA TV in 1993 that was in conjunction with the WWE, being in a King's Court segment with Jerry "The King" Lawler. Although the segment was filmed at a WWE event, it was specifically for the USWA territory.
