In a post-match promo, Hauser highlighted his fandom of wrestling. He called out Sami Callihan, who then agreed to face him at REVOLVER’s WrestleMania weekend event.

Hauser won the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series for his role in Blackbird. He name-dropped Cardona in his acceptance speech and promoted their match. Hauser made an appearance for AEW in 2023, and he made his in-ring debut at REVOLVER Unreal in November, where he beat Matthew Palmer.
