By mid-2013, Bowens expanded to events like East Penn Wrestling Entertainment (EPWE), participating in matches such as an August 23 bout alongside partners against local talent, which helped him adapt to multi-man dynamics and basic ring psychology without securing victories. Continued IWF appearances in 2014 exposed him to veterans like Marc Corino, fostering growth in storytelling and pacing through defeats and competitive outings that emphasized resilience over immediate success; his record during this period reflected a typical of debuting wrestlers in regional circuits, with no sustained winning streak.

He expanded to promotions like , entering events such as the 2019 Trifecta Elimination, and Beyond Wrestling, where he competed in multi-man and singles matches against regional talents.

These claims intensified after his 2025 split from tag partner , with detractors citing Bowens' post-breakup performances as evidence of unearned elevation. The Acclaimed's January 2025 dissolution sparked mutual recriminations, as Caster publicly criticized Bowens for embarrassing him in matches like their April 6 confrontation at AEW Dynasty, while Bowens admitted fearing job loss due to Caster's off-ring controversies and expressed personal humiliation in segments such as the July 2025 Men's Casino Gauntlet. Bowens has attributed perceptions of his underutilization to insufficient television exposure, noting in September 2025 that he has rarely competed in AEW bouts exceeding 20-30 minutes, limiting opportunities to demonstrate endurance and technical depth.

Counterpoints highlight positive user aggregates on platforms like Cagematch, where Bowens garners averages around 7-8 for select performances, suggesting competence in structured environments but questioning broader singles viability absent identity framing. Fan forums reflect this divide, with some dismissing sexuality as irrelevant to merit-based pushes amid AEW's crowded roster.
