The Acclaimed are bringing eyes to AEW Dark and Dark: Elevation.
Max Caster and Anthony Bowens are one of the top tag teams in AEW and though they have yet to reach the summit of the division, The Acclaimed have been a staple near the top of the rankings. Speaking with Brandon Walker on Barstool Rasslin', Caster said that their presence often gets overlooked and that they bring a lot of value to the company in the sense that people are tuning into Dark and Elevation to see them.
"It's amazing how our charisma and screen presence and gravitas in the arena gets overlooked when we talk about how good The Acclaimed is because it is a huge strong point for us. Obviously, when you look at other wrestlers on the show and other tag teams, there is nobody more charismatic than The Acclaimed, there is nobody more unique than The Acclaimed. Our entrance is must watch every single week, not to mention our matches. One of the number one things I get from fans, when we meet them is, 'You guys are the only reason we watch Dark. You're the only reason we watch Elevation.' People tune in to see our entrance. There is a lot of value in that, just having us on the show. Maybe some fans are on the fence, 'maybe I'll watch this week, maybe I won't,' but every single week, they are going to watch The Acclaimed because we are so charismatic and so awesome. Our entrance, in the ring, the way we look, the way we act. Everyone loves us, and that's true," Caster said.
The Acclaimed last competed on the March 9 episode of AEW Dynamite, losing to Jurassic Express in an AEW World Tag Team Championship Match.
Elsewhere during the interview, the duo discussed Caster putting together his raps and Bowens being the "meme generator." Click here to read more.
