During an interview on the Battleground podcast, Ospreay took at shot at Punk vs. Rollins:
“I can’t think of another cage match off the top of my head that’s like done the stunts, the storytelling, the drama. People tried to top it the next day and they couldn’t.
So I could not believe the output and the support we got afterwards and just how people thought it was one of the greatest steel cage matches ever.”

• Backstage News On Who Went Off Script First In The Charlotte Flair – Tiffany Stratton Promo
The backstage fallout from the Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair promo segment from SmackDown continues, where both women went off-script.
Fightful Select reports that at least one source close to Stratton alleges Charlotte deviated from the script first, prompting Stratton to respond in kind. This source also claimed that Stratton’s decision to leave the ring after delivering a pointed remark about Flair’s divorce was an attempt to de-escalate the situation, suggesting that underlying tensions had been building.
“At least one source close to Stratton claimed that Charlotte went off script first, then Stratton fought back. The claim was that rolling out of the ring after dropping the marriage line was to try to avoid the situation escalating. The belief was that this situation has been boiling over for a while.”
However, management’s reaction was reportedly negative towards both women involved. “Management wasn’t happy with either woman from what we’re told.”
The backstage reaction during the segment was also noteworthy. “We’ve heard that when the back and forth happened to close the promo, there were some audible ‘oohs’ and ‘woahs’ and general surprise that it unfolded that way.” This indicates that the segment’s conclusion was unexpected, even to WWE Officials backstage.
