Bowens teamed up with Max Caster as The Acclaimed to take on The Icon and Darby Allin in the main event of the January 19th edition of Dynamite in Washington D.C.
Not only was it the first time either Caster or Bowens had been in the ring with the former world champion, but it was also the first time since November 2000 that he had wrestled on the TBS network.
Such a momentous occasion overwhelmed Anthony Bowens, as he noted when he discussed the experience on the BBC LGBT Sports Podcast. He also described how he cried in front of Sting after the match was over.
The night itself had plenty of personal meaning for Bowens as well, as he explained that it marked the ninth anniversary of becoming a professional wrestler.
Sting is currently undefeated in AEW
As the saying goes, “age is just a number”, and no one embodies that phrase more than Sting. He’s 63 years old, but he remains one of the few stars in AEW that has yet to lose a match.
The Icon currently sits on a record of nine wins and zero losses, with three of those wins coming on pay-per-view. His first bout in the promotion came at Revolution 2021 against Team Taz. Then, he and Darby Allin defeated Men of the Year at Double or Nothing 2021. Finally, he teamed up with Allin and Sammy Guevara to defeat the Andrade Hardy Family Office at Revolution 2022.
During several of his matches, Sting has channeled his inner-ECW and thrown caution to the wind. He has amazed fans by jumping off balconies and delivering unforgettable moments.
The former WCW World Heavyweight Champion hasn’t been seen since he suffered a beatdown at the hands of The Undisputed Elite, so fans are eager to see him get his revenge at some point soon.
