FTR’s Dax Harwood commented on the match, posting the following:

FTR are noted fans of the Express, but they’ve also crossed paths before on All Elite Wrestling television. The August 12, 2020 episode of AEW Dynamite featured a “Tag Team Appreciation Night” theme, and the Express appeared in a segment with FTR, Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard. Blanchard and Ricky Morton ultimately got into a backstage scrap, and FTR ended up attacking the Express.

This wasn’t The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express’ first AEW appearance, however, as they made their on-air debut on the October 30, 2019 episode of Dynamite. The Express were on hand to help crown the first-ever AEW World Tag Team Champions, but they ended up getting attacked by Proud n Powerful (Santana and Ortiz). RNR ended up appearing at that year’s AEW Full Gear pay-per-view, where Morton memorably hit a Canadian Destroyer on Santana followed by a suicide dive on Ortiz and Sammy Guevara.
