The Acclaimed have finally broken up, as Max Caster disbanded the group on Saturday night’s episode of AEW Collision.
Caster began the segment by inviting Anthony Bowens to the ring, accusing him of not acknowledging that Caster is “the best wrestler alive.”
Bowens expressed that he has sought to protect Caster and that they shared a close friendship, but Caster compelled him to lie about his identity.
Bowens labeled Caster as “arrogant” and “cocky” and accused him of undermining their team spirit.
Billy Gunn intervened in an attempt to mediate, but Caster accused him of exploiting the team’s success for personal gain.
Caster claimed that Gunn always centers attention on himself and pressured Bowens to pick a side between him and Gunn.
Ultimately, Bowens sided with Gunn, causing Caster to declare that he was leaving the Acclaimed, leading to their separation.
