THIS AEW Star Calls Tony Khan Decision A "Godsend"

By Andrew Pollard / June 15, 2021

During an appearance on Busted Open Radio, Anthony Bowens has described Tony Khan’s decision to team him up with Max Caster as a “godsend”.

Both singles acts before landing in AEW, Khan saw Bowens and Caster as being perfect foils for one another – and thus, the Acclaimed was born.

As Bowens detailed to Busted Open (per WrestlingInc):

“I think Tony putting Caster and I together was a godsend. I think we bring out the best in each other, we feed off each other’s energy and our dynamic. It’s kind of similar to my YouTube channel where my boyfriend is the crazy, wacky one and I’m kind of almost the straight man of the comedy group.”

Bowens continued on:

“I feel it’s a similar dynamic where we just go out there and we feed off the crowd when we had the opportunity to last week or two weeks ago at Double or Nothing. And [when] we go out there, we are ourselves every single time we’re on camera, and I think people are starting to see that now, and I think people are starting to connect with it.”

Anthony would go on to praise his tag partner ‘Platinum’ Max Caster as the “music guy” and for being so creative with what he does, while also explaining how AEW has allowed them to be in a position to sink or swim.
