This week on Smack Talk, Mantell praised WWE for setting up this match. He felt the two men had great chemistry and timing in the ring. The veteran stated that a TV match doesn't get better than this encounter.

"They [Andrade and Carmelo Hayes] had great chemistry and good timing. They didn't rush it; they told a story, and I really liked this match. They did it well. I don't think you can do a TV match better than that. You might do one as good. But this was textbook, and they did a great job," he said. [From 39:05 onwards]
