'The Acclaimed' member is usually seen sprouting rap verses during his entrance to the AEW arena. His skill on the mic, in more ways than one, has earned him and his partner Anthony Bowens a devoted fanbase. Max recently had a rap battle against Austin Gunn in a top-rated segment. During the confrontation, he was accused of stealing John Cena's gimmick. In a recent appearance on AllHipHopTV, the 33-year-old star talked about how he viewed comparisons being made between him and the WWE legend. “The John Cena stuff bothered me at first,” Caster said. “It’s tough to do something new in wrestling, right? Everything’s been done … It bothered me at first but then I realized, ‘Well, you’re comparing me to arguably the greatest wrestler of all time,’ definitely the biggest drawing wrestler of the modern era, or at least the era we’re in now, so it’s not a bad thing."
