Former AEW World Tag Team Champions Max Caster and Anthony Bowens have officially entered free agency, according to Fightful Select.

The former Acclaimed members now have new career options after their AEW contracts expired, although their next moves remain unclear.

Caster and Bowens spent around six years with AEW and became one of the promotion’s most recognizable homegrown teams. However, their paths had already started moving in different directions before their contracts ended.

Caster hasn’t wrestled for AEW since December 2025 and spent much of 2026 working on the independent scene. Bowens, meanwhile, remained part of AEW programming as a member of The Opps.

The pair achieved their biggest success together as The Acclaimed, winning the AEW World Tag Team Championship in September 2022. They later teamed with Billy Gunn and captured the AEW World Trios Championship at All In London 2023, holding the titles for eight months.

Their partnership eventually broke down, with Caster and Bowens going their separate ways by early 2025. Neither singles run developed as hoped, leading to Caster’s reduced AEW role and Bowens’ run with The Opps.

Fightful reports that both wrestlers remain listed on AEW’s official roster page, leaving open the possibility that they could still return to the company. An AEW source also suggested that recent tragic events, including the deaths of Andy “The Butcher” Williams and Benjamin “PAC” Satterley, may have slowed contract discussions.

Both men appeared to acknowledge their free-agent status on social media. Caster posted a screenshot featuring the definition of “Free Agent,” adding, “Doing my own research.”

For now, the former tag team champions are free to explore their options elsewhere. After spending years together at the top of AEW’s tag team division, their next chapters could take them in very different directions.
