\”To see the response from the fans and everyone after the match, I think it worked out how it was meant to work out. I\’m very happy with everything, and I wouldn\’t change a thing.\

Shelley added:

\”It\’s one ear and out the other. It\’s nice we got these accolades, but at the same time, those are done with and don\’t benefit us going forward. We need to stay grounded, stay humble and work even harder because if there\’s another one, you better believe we\’ll want to top it.\
