During the AEW Dynamite: Fight For the Fallen special that aired on Wednesday night, there was noticeable friction between Anthony Bowens and Max Caster.
As members of The Acclaimed, they squared off against Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin of The Hurt Syndicate in a tag-team match. The strained relationship between Bowens and Caster became apparent during the match. At one point, Caster self-tagged, sparking a heated dispute.
Later in the match, Caster found himself in a tough spot after tagging in. Bowens then decided to abandon the match, leaving Caster to face Benjamin and Lashley alone. The match ended with Lashley dominating, winning through his go-to Hurt Lock submission move.
Are The Acclaimed okay?

In other news from Wednesday night’s AEW Dynamite: Fight For the Fallen special, Julia Hart made a victorious return, defeating Jamie Hayter. This was Hart’s first appearance in the ring since the April edition of AEW Dynasty.
The highlight of the match was Hart using black mist as a diversion. Although she introduced an arrow into the ring, it was removed by the referee. This provided her the perfect opportunity to spray the black mist at Hayter without the referee noticing.
RIGHT NOW Julia Hart makes her AEW in-ring return against the former AEW Women’s World Champion Jamie Hayter!
