- Cormier proposed a post-show wrestling match under the Real American Freestyle banner, and Jones has not publicly responded.
- Jones previously praised a single-leg sequence Cormier “does very well” during a seminar in Thailand, offering a rare public compliment.
- Cormier described the on-set dynamic as professional and less nasty than during their fighting years, and a faceoff photo from filming drew viral attention.
