It's time to break up The Acclaimed

As a long-time wrestling fan who has witnessed the rise and fall of countless tag teams, I can’t help but feel a sense of anticipation about the brewing tension between The Acclaimed. It seems like the inevitable split is on the horizon, and as someone who has seen it all, I must say this feels different.

At AEW Full Gear, a flurry of events took place, with many discussions still ongoing among fans days later. One hot topic revolves around The Acclaimed. There seems to be growing friction between Max Castor and Anthony Bowens. In the world of professional wrestling, it’s common for exceptional tag teams to eventually part ways. Given this pattern, it appears that it’s high time for The Acclaimed to split up.

In several aspects, the team of Caster and Bowens embodies much of what All Elite Wrestling (AEW) stands for. They are two performers who some feel were underestimated by WWE. Caster was part of the controversial Bobby Lashley “sisters” segment, while Bowens had a deal on the table with WWE but it seemed to have been overlooked. Despite this, they found their place in AEW and have become one of its most influential pairs.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but express how Caster and Bowens’ fan support reflected not just their wrestling personas and ring skills, but Bowens’ impact extended far beyond the ring. Witnessing the acceptance of him by the professional wrestling world was one of those rare instances where things seemed “right” across the industry. Their title win symbolized them as one of the shining beacons in this business. Regrettably, unsavory actions began to erode that luster as well.

Over time, Caster’s actions, in his “freestyles” and on social media, have caused fans to turn away from him, instead rallying behind Bowens. Many believe that Tony Khan, who is active online and closely monitors feedback across social media, likely took note of the shifting sentiments towards both wrestlers. Some spectators attribute the developing on-screen rift between the two performers to the increasing backlash against Max Caster, not just as a wrestler, but for his behavior online.

It’s intriguing to watch how this separation unfolds, as it often sparks the debate between Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty about who becomes the main attraction and who supports the star. The tension between Bowens and Caster will initially generate a strong response, but managing them after that is a concern that cannot be overlooked. AEW has the chance to develop Bowens into a crucial figure on the roster, someone who professional wrestling truly needs as the industry aims to diversify in a way that reflects its audience more accurately. Splitting up the Acclaimed is not just good for the storyline, but also for the opportunities it presents moving forward.

It might be beneficial to part ways with The Acclaimed’s team in AEW, as this could satisfy the fans and provide an opportunity to observe the individual growth of these talented performers.
