Nothing happened next, they are all fictional characters and their timelines ended with the last scene. But I understand there is a sequel in the works which follows Lester in his afterlife, first spending considerable time in Purgatory then graduating on to Heaven where he becomes a patron saint of fast food workers.

I once wrote an story about tag team that traveled from region to region as independent wrestlers. One half of the team ran into Ricky and Jane and they hire him to record their promos. This was all done years ago, but the pair were impressed with his work and thought the somewhat older Jane was easy to get along with.

According to the director's commentary, the original idea was to start the movie with Jane and Ricky being blamed for the murder, with the video 'confessions' they shot together being used as evidence. The idea was dropped because it turned the whole thing into a murder mystery movie.

Makes sense that Ricky could be blamed because he had access to the gun. Did the Colonel take the gun back home? In any case, Jane was with Ricky so he has an alibi.

I'm guessing they start saying what the hell happened? Where is the killer. Who did this. Lets GTFOH and call the police........
