Legends such as Kane and The Rock have targeted the commentary team in the past. It might be something they say or their actions that may rile up the wrestlers sometimes.

Ripley has been heavily involved with Judgement Day in taking down legends such as Edge and Rey Mysterio. Even recruiting the latter’s son Dominik into the faction.
