After the show aired, Sid Pullar III of The Takedown on Sports Illustrated pushed out his interview with the winners. Steele and Troy had the following to say about their new accolades:
Steele: "I'm so excited. It's been a long time coming. I swear I've just been waiting for my moment to shine. I just feel elated. I just feel so, so freaking blessed."
Troy: "I'm just excited I didn't take my foot off the gas after winning. If anything, I was so looking forward to the end of the show and I was so wrapped up around winning and winning and winning and then I just had a moment where I was like, this isn't the end, and I don't know why it feels like the end.
This isn't a movie where the movie ends and cuts to black. This is just the beginning... we won the show and I was excited and for a while, I was riding that wave, but then I had to get back to shore and realize is this the only time you want to be at the top?"
There was a moment during the season when CM Punk was a special guest. He opened the door for the hopefuls to show him what they can do on the microphone.
Troy took the opportunity and dove into the abandonment he felt as a fan when Punk left WWE in 2014. He finished off by saying he wanted to take what Punk made everyone feel and make him "bend the knee."
Troy: "I knew what it was and I wanted to be first. He was like, 'Who wants to go first?' I got up, went to the front of the room, cut a promo and then after that, everyone was like, 'Okay. I know who he is now.' Like, follow that. And I just sat back down and I was like, 'I mean, this is what I do.'
When I cut that promo, man, it was a lot of passion, it was a lot of intensity and it was a lot of, I need to show people I'm not just (an) intimidating force. I'm not just the big guy in the ring and this isn't 2000s wrestling where the big man is quiet and unspoken. It's not that era anymore. We gotta electrify the audience in every way we can.
I think looking into CM Punk's face is one of those things where I was like, have I earned this yet? Have I earned the right to sit here and cut this promo on CM Punk like me and him are about to main event SummerSlam? And I just took it, man. I just took it. I saw a moment and I just took it. This is something I've been waiting for. I have been waiting for a moment to get that microphone in my hands and express myself."
Both Steele and Troy have appeared on NXT TV in the lead-up to the WWE LFG finale.
Steele made her WWE in-ring debut in March 2024 and Troy debuted in May 2023.
