Metalik came out as a very surprising winner to the WWE Universe. However, this could be due to a shortage of superstars on the Blue Brand due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Top superstars of the show like Jeff Hardy and Sheamus are currently in a feud. Cesaro and Nakamura are currently in the tag team division. Matt Riddle, who came in like a breath of fresh air, is currently in a feud with Baron Corbin.
