Austin was surprisingly good with words as he tried his best to outshine Max in the rap battle. Billy Gunn's son also namedropped Bobby Lashley, referring to the former WWE World Champion's 2018 segment with his "sisters".

"I am not scared of you mister, why I would be scared of one Bobby Lashley's sisters."

He also referenced John Cena, taunting Max Caster for apparently stealing the WWE legend's gimmick.

“John Cena wants his gimmick back.”

Although the Gunn Club tried their best, Max Caster's rapid verses made Austin Gunn choke and give up. However, the loss prompted Billy Gunn and his sons to physically attack the Acclaimed, leading to a beatdown as the segment ended.
