Bowens was supposed to be back in action in two weeks, but he still has not gotten cleared to return. This is the reason that Max Caster has been wrestling their matches, and Bowens is stuck on ringside. 

Khan said, ““I really like Anthony a great deal. He’s been injured. We don’t think it’s anything too long-term, but the truth is, he was supposed to be back by now and that’s jammed me up the last couple weeks in planning. He’s been out almost a month and they originally thought it was going to be two weeks. It’s been a few weeks, I’ve been looking forward to bringing him back. He’s recovering from what is hopefully a short-term knee injury.”

Anthony Bowen’s last match was on AEW Dynamite on March 9th in a AEW World Tag Team Championship match against Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus of Jurassic Express. Most recently he was ringside to support Max Caster in his match against CM Punk.

Here is Caster’s rap from Twitter from @WrestleBuzzz

As of now, AEW is working hard to remove the video. Multiple copyright strikes have been issued on Twitter and YouTube as the entrance was removed from this week’s episode of Dark. 

This is what Caster said in his entrance rap. Note, viewer discretion is advised:

“Listen, the Acclaimed kicking ass for miles, making you claim mental health like Simone Biles. The Sydels is going to pay the cost, I’m going to treat those bitches like Duke Lacrosse. The Blondes say they are the best but those dudes are faker than a PCR test. And what is that smell here in North Carolina, oh wait that’s Julia’s…”

Caster was then cut off by his tag partner, Anthony Bowens who said “you meant Julia’s breath from all of those croissants that she ate.”

The crowd in Charlotte, North Carolina was left speechless after the rap. 

The Acclaimed along with Matt Hardy and the Blade would go on to defeat The Sydels and the Varsity Blonds after Blade hit Mike Sydel with brass knuckles. 

Most of the world knows of the troubles that Biles has faced during her Olympic journey that included being one of the many young women sexually groomed by team USA gymnastics medical director, Larry Nassar. 

In 2017, Nassar was sentenced to 60 years in federal prison with another 80 to 300 years in state prison. 

Caster’s Duke Lacrosse mention had people in uproar due to the 2006 case which had three players, all white, accused of raping a black North Carolina State student. 

The case was dropped due to lack of evidence and the prosecutor’s push of the case due to his re-election coming up. 

This is also on the heels of AEW’s donation of $100,000 to Sale Alliance, a nonprofit organization based out of Charlotte, North Carolina, dedicated to providing hope and healing for domestic violence and sexual assault survivors.

AEW has been reached out for comment and we will update you when the comments are available.
