He mentions the period after his brother Jay Briscoe's death and how he debuted alone at that time, and says that AEW saved his life and helped him get his anger out, yet he could still not find joy. He talks about how that joy was regained with the formation of The Conglomeration, then addresses how he and MJF crossed paths and how MJF made that anger bubble back up from sheer hatred.

Briscoe then calls MJF "a moist-ass bitch" and demands he give him a title shot.
