In a backstage interview, Dirty Dom said the following about his loss:
“You all saw what happened to me out there. I am the greatest NXT North American Champion that’s ever been. Dragon Lee, my deadbeat dad?
Where’s Judgment Day? Where’s Finn, where’s Damian, JD, Mami? You know what, I’m gonna go home to Mami because Judgment Day runs all and this shouldn’t be happening.”
Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley tweeted the following about her on-screen boyfriend’s title loss:
“Am I upset? Sad? Mad? Yes.
But @dominik_35 has been THE BIGGEST WORKHORSE within WWE all year! His growth has been insane… Very VERY proud! Forever my Champion 🖤”
