Prior to the main event, Jeff Jarrett held a shoot interview where he discussed the recent death of his wife Jill,[3] who died on May 23, 2007 of breast cancer.[4][5] Jarrett discussed how she influenced the company during the "early days" followed by saying he doesn't know when or where he'll wrestle again.[3] Jarrett then concluded by thanking the fans for their support on his and his wife's behalf.[3] The fans responded by chanting Jill's name as well as "Thank you Jeff".[3]
In October 2017, with the launch of the Global Wrestling Network, the event became available to stream on demand.[6] It would later be available on Impact Plus in May 2019.[7]
