AEW’s Anthony Bowens Joins WWE Stars at Netflix Tudum Event

Los Angeles, California — AEW star Anthony Bowens was spotted mingling with WWE Superstars at Netflix’s Tudum global fan event on June 2, 2025. The sighting drew attention as Bowens, a member of The Acclaimed, shared a group photo on his Instagram with WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, along with Dominik Mysterio of The Judgment Day.

This crossover moment was particularly significant given the competitive nature between the two major wrestling promotions. Fans quickly reacted on social media, intrigued by the friendly interactions and speculating about possible future collaborations between the brands.

“Liv, Dom, Raquel and Bowens hanging out at Netflix Tudum was not on my 2025 bingo card,” one user remarked on X, formerly Twitter. The unexpected meeting took place during a global showcase for Netflix, an event that has seen increased participation from WWE stars since WWE RAW began streaming on the platform in January 2025.

Bowens’ casual appearance at the event has sparked discussions among fans. Some expressed concern that he might face repercussions from AEW president Tony Khan for associating with WWE talent. Others, however, celebrated the crossover as a sign of friendship between wrestlers from competing brands.

“Great to see when the wrestlers are friends off the ‘field’!!!” one fan tweeted, while another commented, “This could be a step toward AEW and WWE working together.”

Meanwhile, Bowens captioned an Instagram post featuring his experiences from the week, highlighting both his wrestling matches and interactions at the Netflix event. “Tudums, Collisions, Influencing, and Forbidden Doors. I am The Pride of Professional Wrestling ✌🏽,” he wrote.

The Tudum event not only showcased wrestling but also featured high-profile appearances from other stars like CM Punk and Rhea Ripley. While Bowens enjoyed moments with WWE’s top talent, the event also served as a bittersweet backdrop, with news breaking of R-Truth’s departure from WWE, sparking significant fan support.

As the wrestling landscape continues to evolve, the playful camaraderie seen during the Tudum event may hint at new possibilities for collaboration and interaction among wrestlers from various promotions.
