Recently on Busted Open Radio, Tony Khan explained why Anthony Bowens of The Acclaimed has been out of action since early March. Khan revealed that Bowens was put on the sidelines because of a knee injury.
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.
