Speaking with Busted Open, Mark Henry highly praised Sami Zayn’s passionate speech. He compared Sami’s promo with going to church. Henry stated that he felt like Zayn was preaching, and he made The Judgment Day feel invisible.

"He spoke with such passion and fervor that ... it was like going to church, I feel like he was preaching. And all of those people that were out there, ... they were invisible. Not one person was looking at them. When you have the power to make three or four other superstars invisible, you are powerful, and that's what happened last night."
