Anthony Bowens has revealed he is dealing with a torn meniscus in his right knee, disclosing the injury during an interview with Michael Fairman. The former AEW star used the conversation to detail an extensive injury history that includes diagnosed concussions, a seizure suffered in the ring, a torn MCL that required surgery, and a previous meniscus tear in his left knee that also needed surgical repair.
Bowens did not specify a timeline for treatment or recovery from the latest injury, but the disclosure comes as attention has also turned to the professional fallout facing his former tag team partner, Max Caster.
Max Caster’s TNA Exit
TNA Wrestling has ended its agreement with Caster following controversial remarks he made during his Bound For Glory debut. According to WrestleZone, Caster’s freestyle rap referenced deadly attacks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, drawing strong criticism. TNA subsequently apologized, removed the footage from its platforms, and confirmed that Caster would no longer wrestle for the promotion.
Bowens and Caster were previously paired together as The Acclaimed, one of the more prominent tag teams during their time in AEW. With Caster’s TNA run now over almost as soon as it began, questions remain about where he goes next in his career, though no further details on his future plans have been confirmed.
For Bowens, the knee injury adds another chapter to a run of physical setbacks that have included surgeries on both knees and documented head trauma. He did not use the interview to announce any in-ring return date or address his standing with any promotion, and no further medical details beyond the torn meniscus have been confirmed.
Both situations remain developing. Caster’s next move following his departure from TNA has not been announced, and the full scope of Bowens’s recovery timeline from the torn meniscus has not been detailed publicly.
