The main portion of the show ended with Mathews doing an in-ring interview with Impact World Champion Sami Callihan. Callihan told the crowd that pro wrestling is supposed to be fun and everyone loves it but people are so hypersensitive. He said he’s sick of it and told the fans that they need to stop cutting each other down online and have fun. He vowed to keep the title and said everyone in Impact including management can kiss his ass.
The Twitch broadcast continued with Mathews doing ringside interviews with Michael Elgin, Rhino, and others. This event was part of a fan fest.
