After the match, Gargano addressed the crowd. Some saw it as Gargano saying goodbye to WWE:
“Ladies and gentlemen, I want to say one thing. Back when I was just a fan, sitting in those stands, I vividly remember a moment where a young CM Punk had a dark match here in Cleveland, Ohio, and as a fan I remember seeing that and going: That’s CM Punk. He’s one of the best in the world. He belongs here. T be able to get in this ring in my hometown with the best in the world, with the WWE Champion, CM Punk has made his debut on SmackDown. Guys, I am here to tell you, for anyone out there in the crowd, if you have a dream, if you want to do something, if you work hard enough, you can make anything happen in this life time.”
