The AEW roster is immensely talented. Furthermore, its tag team division is one of the strongest in the world. The reigning All Elite Wrestling World Tag Team Champions are Brodido (Brody King and Bandido). Interestingly, the title were once held by Max Caster and Anthony Bowens of The Acclaimed.

On paper, The Acclaimed have disbanded. However, AEW producer Jerry Lynn recently forced Caster and Bowens to ally again and take part in tag team action. On the latest episode of Collision, the duo locked horns with The Swirl (Blake Christian & Lee Johnson). The former World Tag Team Champions won this showdown. However, after its conclusion, they went their separate way.

Anthony Bowens has expressed his frustrations with his former tag team partner on several occasions. Caster is a controversial figure, and The 5-Tool Player was under the impression that Tony Khan was going to fire both due to the former's actions.

"People don't understand what I went through backstage with Max Caster. I can't be any more genuine - there were times where I thought I was not going to have a job anymore, and that is terrifying as somebody who has always dreamed of being on television, being on Dynamite, wrestling every week. And then to come to work and potentially have that ripped away for something that you didn't even do, that's a petrifying thought.... There was just occurrence after occurrence after occurrence after occurrence where I was cleaning up this guy's mess," said Bowens. [H/T: WrestleTalk]
