Jim Cornette criticizes Tony Khan's handling of The Acclaimed in AEW

The Acclaimed's fall from grace in AEW has been a topic of discussion amongst wrestling fans since they lost the World Tag Team Championship to The Gunns on the February 8, 2023, edition of Dynamite. The duo have struggled to find their footing since losing the title.

On his podcast, The Jim Cornette Experience, Cornette criticized Tony Khan's handling of The Acclaimed, claiming that he botched their title run and is now confused about what to do with them.

"Now he's f**ked up and realized Tony has that the people started liking The Acclaimed and he had absolutely no idea what to do with them when he got surprised by that, and so he botched the whole thing by having them drop the belts to The Gunn boys. He's been confused ever since as to what to do besides, for no apparent reason, get them out there so [Max] Caster can rap, and they can do the scissor and win a match," said Cornette.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for Max Caster and Anthony Bowens in AEW. Fans of the duo will be hoping for a return to form sooner rather than later.
