Brian James admitted that he was surprised by the phone call from Becky Lynch and said that her thoughtful gesture had a tremendous impact on him. The RAW Superstar made sure she thanked the veteran superstar for his backstage support.

"One thing about Becky is, few people called me when I got fired. She was the first one, and that shocked me! I mean, it really did," revealed Road Dogg. "It caught me because I didn't know, and she proceeded to tell me how she felt about working with me and working on SmackDown with me and all that stuff, and I had no idea she felt that strongly. Man, it really touched my heart." (48:20 -48:40)
