"Max Caster is an arrogant, cocky, selfish, edgelord piece of shit"

Max Caster: "Thank you everybody, thank you very much. [Crowd boos] Thank you for your concern, there's been a lot of issues going on with The Acclaimed, [crowd boos] There's a lot of rumors online, a lot of people are talking, but I just wanna clear the air right now with my teammate, Anthony Bowens, please come to the ring. Guys, give it up for Anthony Bowens."

[Anthony makes his entrance without any music playing]

Max Caster: "Please come in, please come into the ring, this has gone on long enough, okay? Um... There's been a huge misunderstanding between me and you, okay? We are a great team, and more importantly, we are great friends. The biggest issue I think there is between us is that you just won't admit that I'm the best wrestler alive." [Crowd boos]

Anthony Bowens: "Alright, wow, You know what, Max? I think it's finally time for you to listen, pal. Because for the last five years, I have tried with every fiber of my being to protect you in the ring, to protect you in the locker room, to protect you in the media, because we were tag team partners, you became my best friend. But now I have to live with the very uncomfortable truth that you have made me a liar. Because for five years, I've had to lie to every single person here about who you are as a person, and the truth is, Cincinnati, that Max Caster is an arrogant, cocky, selfish, edgelord piece of shit! [Crowd cheers and chants 'Piece of shit!'] And I'm sure you can hear very well, you want all these people to believe that you're the best wrestler alive. Well, newsflash, pal, these people think you absolutely suck!" [Crowd cheers]

[Max reaches into his bag and shows a certificate that claims he's the best wrestler alive]

Max Caster: "It says it right here. It says it right here. Best wrestler alive."

Anthony Bowens: "Hey, and this is exactly what I mean, you're selfish, you have lost the team spirit, I have no idea why you started to look down upon me, maybe it's because I call myself the Scissor King, you haven't been doing any scissoring. Well, guess what? Anthony Bowens is way more than that, I possess every tool necessary to be a World Champion! [Crowd cheers and claps] I have proudly represented AEW since I have put pen to paper, I AM THE FUCKING PRIDE OF AEW! I AM WRESTLING'S FIVE TOOL PLAYER! [Crowd cheers and claps] And I don't need a piece of paper from the government to prove it." [Anthony pushes Max's certificate and drops his own mic]

Max Caster: "Are you kidding me? Okay, don't touch me, okay?"

[Billy Gunn makes his entrance, crowd chants 'Daddy Ass!']

Billy Gunn: "First of all, what is wrong with you two? You are The Acclaim, you were AEW Tag Team Champions, we were trios champions, and we got everybody to scissor just because it was cool." [Crowd cheers]

Max Caster: "You don't care about us, Billy, you attached yourself to a couple of young, hungry wrestlers like me and Anthony Bowens, just so you could hear these people chant your name over and over again. You made it about you when it should be about me, the best wrestler alive! [Crowd boos] And Anthony, and Anthony Bowens, Anthony, you are my best friend, Anthony, you're my best friend, okay? We are two guys randomly put together, didn't really know each other, but we became the winningest tag team in AEW history, every team he's been a part of has broken up, and there's a reason for that. [Mild boos] Yeah, even The Gunn Club, even your own two sons don't want shit to do with you. [Billy charges at Max as the crowd chants 'Kick his ass!]

Hey, okay, Anthony, I'm not doing this, you gotta choose right now, it's either me or Billy. If you want The Acclaim to keep going, you make that choice, it's me or washed up Billy Gunn. [Crowd chants for Billy Gunn as Anthony makes a scissoring gesture to Max. Browns then turns it into a middle finger as the crowd cheers]

Oh, so that's how it is? Another bad decision, they call him Bad Decision Bowens. Okay, you know what? You can't walk away from me, I'm walking away from you and The Acclaimed is done because I said so, 'cuz I'm the leader of the team and it's your fault, it's your fault, and it's everybody's fault that's in here. [Crowd boos as Max exists the ring] I'm gonna prove to you and you and everybody else that I am the best wrestler alive and without me you suck and you suck and everybody here sucks. [Crowd boos and chants 'You suck!'] Me?"

Anthony Bowens: "I didn't need you then and I sure as hell don't need you now, get the hell out of my life! Cincinnati, Billy, one last time, throw those scissors up in the air!" [Crowd cheers as Billy and Anthony scissor together.]
