Hogan would later discuss his thoughts on Raw Superstar Matt Riddle, stating that while he still has time for improvements, he has been impressed with his performance: 

‘I’ve been watching him and he’s really got good instincts. He’s really got a good aptitude for understanding what needs to be done, you know. It’s all about instincts and timing…’
