Anthony Bowens Explains His Post-Acclaimed AEW Storyline
“They think the return was a flop, which it wasn't. It was made to be that way so I could go off the deep end, blame Billy for my not being able to win the big matches, blame the fans for choosing Caster over me, adding to his delusion of being the best wrestler alive. And then I would go into what the Pride of Pro Wrestling was.— Anthony Bowens
Anthony Bowens addressed perceptions about his return in All Elite Wrestling, clarifying that the outcome was intentional to set up a larger storyline. The plan involved him spiraling and assigning blame to Billy for his inability to secure major victories as well as to the fans for favoring Caster, which fueled his character's belief in being the top wrestler.
Bowens then intended to explore the concept of the Pride of Pro Wrestling within the narrative. He incorporated genuine personal emotions into the performance to bring authenticity to the screen.
Following the events, Bowens chose not to focus on the past. He noted his recent alignment with The Opps, though he indicated uncertainty about how future developments might unfold.
