In the Fightful Select report, it was said that inside WWE, the airing of the footage was described as a “self-own.” Some within the company told the outlet that they “simply didn’t care.” Punk is reportedly not receiving any kind of blowback or issues from the video internally. Fightful reported that one person who spent time in both companies downplayed the controversy and compared it to the same kind of “promotional ploy” used during the Monday Night Wars when the then-WWF was competing against WCW.

One talent within WWE who made his opinions known in a snarky social media post was new tag team champion Grayson Waller. The host of the “Grayson Waller Effect” posted on X (formerly Twitter) that he would be “sharing exclusive security camera footage” of himself and tag team partner Austin Theory “beating up the entire WWE locker room backstage.”
“It’s time the world knows how tough the Smackdown Tag Champs really are!” Waller posted. “WWE NXT” star Dijak, who has become known for his own snarky social media posts, responded to Waller.
“It’s true, I saw it. There was real glass everywhere,” he posted.
Later today, I’m going to share exclusive security camera footage of myself and @_Theory1 beating up the entire WWE locker room backstage.
It’s time the world knows how tough the Smackdown Tag Champs really are!

Fellow “NXT” talent Shawn Spears, who debuted for the company after leaving AEW when he became a free agent in January, seemingly responded to the segment as it was airing, posting a GIF of a person throwing a yoga ball at the wall and knocking himself out. Outside of the social media posts from Waller, Dijak, Spears, and Punk himself, only one other person has responded to the incident and its subsequent footage.
