Lynch stated her absence will prevent her from stopping an "illegal gauntlet match" but teased that "Big Time Becks will return soon."

WWE Hall of Famer D-Von Dudley believes WWE made a mistake by bringing Jade Cargill directly to the main roster instead of sending her through NXT first for proper development. Speaking on the DukeLovesRassling podcast on March 7, 2026, Dudley said that while he understands WWE's decision based on Cargill's look and physique, her time in AEW showed she needed additional training before moving to WWE's main roster. Dudley noted that it's now difficult to send her back to NXT since she's already established on the main roster, and suggested WWE brought her up mainly because of her appearance rather than ensuring she could perform at that level.
Drew McIntyre broke his silence following his WWE Championship loss by posting a single thumbs-down emoji on Twitter, marking his first social media activity since dropping the title to Cody Rhodes on the March 6 episode of WWE SmackDown. Rhodes defeated McIntyre in a chaotic main event that included multiple referee bumps and interference from Jacob Fatu, who distracted McIntyre before Rhodes hit a Cody Cutter and Cross Rhodes for the victory. The title change has generated significant backlash online, with the match video accumulating over 119,000 dislikes compared to roughly 28,000 likes on WWE's official YouTube channel.
