Bowens made his AEW debut on the October 6, 2020, edition of Dark, where he teamed up with Lee Johnson to take on Luther and Serpentico of “Chaos Project.” A few weeks after his debut, he was paired with Max Caster. The two would eventually form the popular tag team The Acclaimed, and were officially signed to AEW.
Speaking on the “BBC LGBT Sports Podcast,” Bowens spoke openly about how WWE made him an offer, conveniently the day after his debut on Dark.
Fortunately for Bowens, AEW president Tony Khan stepped in and managed to offer him a better deal.
Since their signing, The Acclaimed have been considered one of the most entertaining duos in all of wrestling, with their in-ring work being highly praised as well.
In recent weeks, The Acclaimed have joined forces with Billy Gunn and his sons, The Gunn Club, also known as the “A** Boys” to fans and members of the AEW locker room.
The group has had a decent amount of success since teaming together, with Caster and the Gunns opening the historic June 1 edition of Dynamite in Los Angeles, California against CM Punk and FTR.
Unfortunately for Anthony Bowens, he sustained an injury that will keep him on the shelf for a prolonged period of time. Anthony Bowens may be in a wheelchair at the time of writing, but he still gets huge responses from the audience.
Are you looking forward to seeing Anthony Bowens back in the ring? Stay tuned to AEW TV to see when he returns to the ring.
