Max Caster, known for his time in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and as part of the tag team 'The Acclaimed', has not been seen on AEW programming since December 2022. Despite his absence, he continues to be active on the independent wrestling circuit, showcasing his skills at events like Beyond Wrestling. Reports indicate that while Caster is still under contract with AEW, there are currently no plans from the creative team to feature him on television. Caster recently made headlines for his comments on public criticism, stating he refuses to apologize to those who wish for his firing or send him death threats, emphasizing that he will only apologize to those he works closely with. His absence from AEW has raised questions about his future with the promotion, especially after the disbandment of The Acclaimed in January 2025, which had previously teased a reunion. As fans continue to support him, it remains uncertain when or if Caster will return to AEW programming.
