Update On Max Caster's AEW Status Amid TV Absence

While he hasn't wrestled on AEW TV since December 2025, Max Caster is still a part of All Elite Wrestling.

Fightful Select has reported that Max Caster is still under contract with AEW and he simply hasn't been used by the promotion as of late. Fightful also noted they haven't heard of Caster being at TV as of late, either.

Caster has been active on the independent wrestling scene amidst his AEW absence, wrestling for the likes of Beyond Wrestling, Create A Pro, and WrestlePro. This includes teaming with Anthony Bowens as The Acclaimed in March of 2026 for House of Glory.

Max Caster has been a part of All Elite Wrestling since 2020 and he has spent the vast majority of his run teaming with Anthony Bowens as The Acclaimed, but the tag team split in January 2025. Caster remained on TV following the split with his Best Wrestler Alive open challenges and a full-time reunion with Bowens was teased throughout the second half of 2025 until the angle was quietly dropped and Bowens joined The Opps in April 2026.

During his time in The Acclaimed, Caster is a one-time AEW World Tag Team Champion with Bowens and one-time AEW World Trios Champion with Bowens and Billy Gunn.
