Needless to say, Vince McMahon exploded backstage. He was so livid that he called Jericho, Batista and the referee into a meeting soon after. Batista described what happened during an interview:

"Then he starts passing out fines. So my fine was $100,000…My heart dropped. I thought it would be like $25,000…When he said $100,000, I was just heartbroken. I literally think that he sucked the life out of me that day. I think that's the day that I knew things were never going to be the same."

Batista later said that this incident played a part in him leaving the WWE.
