In a shocking display of betrayal, revenge, and very tight pants, Anthony Bowens made his triumphant return to AEW at Dynasty: Zero Hour — and folks, let me tell you, it was yuge.
After months of Max Caster parading around like a lost TikTok rapper with delusions of grandeur, calling himself “The Best Wrestler Alive” despite holding more L’s than a Scrabble tournament, the crowd was just about ready for someone to stop the madness. And boy, did someone stop it. Bigly.
Caster came out, microphone in hand, ready to unleash another one of his award-losing raps — but before he could finish leading the crowd in his favorite chant (which, sources say, has only ever been chanted by himself), the lights dropped like Caster’s win percentage.
Cue the return of Anthony Bowens, now upgraded with new music, new graphics, new gear — and most importantly, no tolerance for nonsense. Accompanied by Daddy Ass (Billy Gunn, not to be confused with an actual paternal donkey), Bowens stormed the ring and delivered a beating so swift and so decisive it has been officially declared a natural disaster in six states.
A rolling elbow. One, two, three. Match over. Max Caster’s ego? In shambles. AEW’s “Best Wrestler Alive” streak? Extended to 0-8. If we’re counting moral victories, he’s still winless.
Meanwhile, in a separate match seemingly booked by a sugar-fueled pinball machine, Nick Wayne and the CRU defeated AR Fox and Top Flight in a high-flying spectacle that required two chiropractors and a NASA flight plan to decode. Bodies flew, Spanish Flies landed, and somewhere in the chaos, Nick Wayne hit Wayne’s World to pick up the win — proving once again that if you want logic, go watch golf.
But let’s be real. This night was about one thing:
Anthony Bowens is back. And he brought receipts.
