In a recent interview on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, AEW star Max Caster sparked intrigue among wrestling fans when he discussed the future of his tag team partnership with Anthony Bowens, better known as The Acclaimed. Caster, who has been teaming up with Bowens since October 2020, hinted at the possibility of parting ways to focus on his solo career.
When asked about his role in the AEW locker room, Caster confidently asserted that he is a veteran in professional wrestling and one of the leaders in the Tony Khan-led company. However, in the same breath, he expressed his desire to continue improving as a solo performer, fueling speculation about the future of The Acclaimed.
Caster’s comments have left fans wondering if we will see a breakup of the popular tag team in the near future. The duo, which was officially formed on the December 16, 2020, episode of Dynamite, has been a fan favorite in AEW, known for their electrifying performances and undeniable chemistry in the ring.
Interestingly, during the interview, Caster was asked to name the best homegrown talent in AEW. Instead of choosing popular names like Darby Allin, Britt Baker, or Jack Perry, he nominated himself and his tag team partner, Anthony Bowens, as the “best purely homegrown talents AEW had ever created.” This bold statement highlights the duo’s immense popularity not only within AEW but also outside the organization.
The 34-year-old wrestler’s assertions are hard to argue with, given The Acclaimed’s phenomenal rise to fame in the past two years. As we wait to see what the future holds for Caster and Bowens, one thing is certain – their partnership has left an indelible mark on the world of professional wrestling.
