The Acclaimed Drags Vince McMahon’s WWE Return In During Promo

Vince McMahon ruthlessly maneuvered his way back to WWE, and that didn’t sit well with fans and talent alike. The billionaire reinstated himself and close aides to the Board of Directors in a huge power move. The biggest trash talkers in AEW made a satirical reference to rival WWE and its co-founder Vince McMahon’s move to return himself to the company’s Board of Directors.

The Acclaimed is arguably the most popular tag team in AEW. Max Caster and Anthony Bowens never fail to impress fans with their hilarious antics outside the ring. During a promo with their onscreen mentor and former WWE star Billy Gunn, The Acclaimed mentioned the ongoing controversy.

This Friday on ‘Rampage,’ The Acclaimed is in Hollywood and we’re getting one of the best honors you can get. And we’re going to be among some of the biggest names in showbiz history.

“Platinum Max” then began naming struggling celebrities such as Roseanne Barr, Alec Baldwin, and Donald Trump, seemingly unaware of the well-known scandals surrounding them. Meanwhile, the audience laughed along when Gunn enthusiastically jumped in and suggested Johnny Depp, another troubled Hollywood icon, and Bowens worriedly waived his hands to stop Caster and Gunn from naming off more troublesome celebrities.

What they mean is The Hollywood Walk of Fame Board of Directors have unanimously voted for The Acclaimed and Daddy Ass to receive stars on the walk of fame, so our scissors are going to live in concrete forever because everyone loves The Acclaimed!

Bowens was referring to WWE’s announcement this week that its board of directors “unanimously” voted in support of re-electing McMahon as Executive Chairman. McMahon’s brief retirement from professional wrestling was ended by WWE’s announcement.

McMahon resigned in July following reports that he paid over $20 million in hush money to multiple women with whom he had romances or allegedly made unwelcome attempts. His absence from the company he founded lasted less than six months. You can check out The Acclaimed’s promo video below.
