By Sondra Ruth. Published 23rd September 2022.
Anthony Bowens The Acclaimed

Anthony Bowens celebrates fulfilling a promise he made to his grandmother before she passed away in 2015.

At AEW Dynamite Grand Slam inside Arthur Ashe Stadium, The Acclaimed finally got their first taste of gold in All Elite Wrestling when they defeated Swerve in Our Glory to become the new AEW World Tag Team Champions.

Celebrating the achievement on social media, Anthony Bowens revealed that he made a promise to be a success to his grandmother prior to her passing in 2015. In the tweet, he pointed out that he is the first gay man to be a champion in the company, that he and Max Caster have the most wins of any tag team in the promotion, and that they’re also the most popular tag team – all accomplishments that prove he kept his promise.

“When my Nana passed in 2015 I promised her I’d be a success. Nana, I made it!
