AEW's Max Caster Calls Indie Promotion His 'New Home' In Cryptic Social Media Post

Max Caster hasn't wrestled on AEW television since last December when he competed in the Dynamite Diamond Ring Battle Royal, though he's been active on the indie scene all year. On Tuesday, Caster took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to announce that Wrestling Open is "my new home" and "the only place you'll see the Best Wrestler Alive every week".

A fan asked if it was just a summer gig and if he'll be back in AEW, Caster responded, "I have been and will be at Wrestling Open every Monday. Watch it on @indiewrestling."

In January 2025, Anthony Bowens walked away from Max Caster, ending The Acclaimed tag team. Caster began doing his Best Wrestler Alive open challenge. Bowens would eventually answer the challenge that April and defeat Caster. Last fall, there was an attempt at a reunion when they were forced into several matches together; Bowens didn't want to be called The Acclaimed and requested to be announced separately. In November, they competed in a $200K four-way in a losing effort. Last March, they competed as a team in HOG Wrestling where they picked up the win. Bowens has since joined The Opps and last competed on Zero Hour at Double or Nothing. Caster's AEW status remains unclear.
