Following the event, Kidd provided an update on Instagram confirming he had dislocated his shoulder during the match.

“Listen, I just got back to the hotel. Took them damn near two hours to pop my should back in because I’m so wham! Before we get down to real business, fuck the doctors, fuck the security team, fuck everyone in that building tonight. I was trying to get on the mic. I said, ‘Give me the mic. I’m going to tell these pussies what’s what,’ and they didn’t fucking give it to me. 240 pound men dragged me out when my shoulder is on the other side of my shoulder, dickheads. Fuck the Conglomenation [Conglomeration]. Fake champions. Paper champions. A bunch of dickheads, bro. Fuck the lot of you. If this didn’t happen, you’d be under the ground right now, you fucking pricks. Ishii wasn’t even there, but fuck him, too. Chicken feet, Mark Briscoe, pussy. ‘Mr. Gabe Kidd, what’s next for you?’ I’m gonna go to the toilet and bust a fat shit. I’m gonna fuck everyone up. Fuck every single person that isn’t David Finlay, Clark Connors, or the Death Riders. Fuck every other person in that category. Fuck all the WWE wrestlers. Fuck the New Japan wrestlers, especially. Fucking embarrassing. You should be embarrassed of yourself, you fucking scroffs
