Anthony Bowens debuts with The Opps on AEW Collision

sportsMay 16, 202623135

Anthony Bowens made his debut as part of The Opps, teaming with Samoa Joe in a tag match against Jay Lethal and Lee Johnson on AEW Collision tonight. Jay Lethal and Lee Johnson were billed as The Lethal Twist and entered with Blake Christian at ringside. Bowens came to the ring in a boxing robe and worked to establish cohesion with Samoa Joe as Joe's new protege. The new pairing pushes Bowens into a tougher, more aggressive role and strengthens The Opps' tag presence on Collision.

Hell yeah. Anthony Bowens looked like a badass out there. Great cohesion with Samoa Joe. Great in-ring storytelling. And we even got Bowens chants in the crowd! I know they're supposed to be bad guys, but damn.... The Opps looks GOOD on Anthony Bowens. #AEWCollision

I know, right? I never thought the Opps would be good for him, either, but this shut me up.

Anthony Bowens made himself even more of a face, even though he sounds like a heel. It's hard to listen to his promo and disagree #AEWCollision 🤼

Anthony Bowens just told me if I dislike seeing creamed corn at the Thanksgiving table that I should flip the table and beat up my mother. That's what he said, not me

Anthony Bowens tapping into the Submission Game? 👀 Samoa Joe is STILL THE Samoan Submission Machine. Bowens got a Legendary Teacher in Joe. #AEWCollision

I'm not ready to call it a success just yet. But this is a big opportunity for Anthony Bowens that he simply can't waste. If he's willing to make it work, it could be just the kind of spark he needs to give himself some direction.
