Following the match, Jericho celebrated by intentionally leaping through a setup table and pointing his finger toward the sky. On commentary, Taz explained the poignant gesture to viewers, noting that Sabu famously crashed through tables as his trademark post-match victory celebration.
The tribute carried deep personal and historical meaning for Jericho. Sabu passed away on May 11, 2025, during a time when Jericho was on a hiatus from AEW television. Furthermore, the pay-per-view took place on the exact three-year anniversary of Sabu’s shocking AEW debut on the May 24, 2023, episode of Dynamite. In that appearance, Sabu was introduced as the special guest enforcer for Jericho's own unsanctioned match against Adam Cole at the 2023 edition of Double or Nothing.
