In the latest episode of Fightful Select Answers, the reunion of former AEW World Tag Team Champions, The Acclaimed (Anthony Bowens and Max Caster), was discussed. Bowens and Caster have been forced to team up again under reluctant circumstances at the orders of Jerry Lynn.
According to Sean Ross Sapp, reuniting The Acclaimed was not part of the company's original plan for the duo. Initially, the plan was to have both wrestlers compete in singles matchups. However, after WWE Hall of Famer Billy Gunn was written off television, the decision was made to put Bowens and Caster back together, albeit with the current storyline portraying them as hesitant tag team partners.
Additionally, Sapp noted that AEW likely didn’t anticipate that Caster’s open challenge would gain as much popularity as it did. It remains to be seen if this angle will lead to a full-fledged reunion of The Acclaimed.
