- Taryn Terrell joined the commentary team for Rosa/Kamille, stating she was there to “scout talent” so expect more of her in the future.
- Chris Adonis attacked Trevor Murdoch after losing the National Championship match, laying him out with a Full Nelson slam and applying a MasterLock until officials and security forced him to break it.
- Austin Idol, Nick Aldis’ former manager, joined commentary for the main event, saying he was invited at the behest of Aron Stevens who hired him to help find weaknesses in Aldis’ game.
- The NWA roster paid their respects to Joseph Hudson at the end of the night, holding up a Mongrovian Flag and using the Question Mark hand salute as the show went off the air.
