While speaking in a post-match interview with Ariel Helwani on BT Sport, The Eradicator mentioned that she got emotional prior to the event. Ripley also added that she not only got emotional for herself but also for Dominik Mysterio. She also expressed how ecstatic she felt while being inside the ring with Charlotte Flair:
"So I soaked it in a little bit this morning. I got really emotional here at WrestleMania before I put all my makeup on for it to be smudged off. I got really emotional, I cried. I wanna say like 6+ times. Not only for myself but for, like, Dominik Mysterio as well. Just seeing his growth, and he has to go there with his dad after Rey got inducted into the Hall of Fame, and it's just a big night for all of us. And knowing that at WrestleMania 36, everything sort of got taken away, and to have it all given back at WrestleMania 39. The crowd, the atmosphere, Charlotte once again, the championship, my family's here like everything just feels so right and amazing. I'm ecstatic." (1:17- 2:04)
