After sharing the ring with Austin, Owens opened up to WWE cameras about what the dream match meant to him:

"I'm very rarely speechless, and I feel like I can try to explain it but I actually have no words. It's really incredible. To be given that opportunity and to get to live that, I know I won't top it, like what I felt in the ring tonight, but it's going to be very hard to even come close. That was just real special. That's a wrap on WrestleMania night one. I was the wrap, in fact, of WrestleMania night one."

The first night of WrestleMania 38 was headlined by Austin vs. Owens. The show featured seven matches in total, including Becky Lynch vs. Bianca Belair, Charlotte Flair vs. Ronda Rousey, and Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins.
