Anthony Bowens recently spoke with OUT for an interview covering all things pro wrestling.

During the discussion, one-half of The Acclaimed tag-team in AEW spoke about his admiration for Darren Young for coming out and being openly gay during his time in WWE.

“I didnโ€™t really have anybody to look towards and say, โ€˜Heโ€™s a World Champion, I want to be like him one day.โ€™ It was extra motivation for me when I did share my sexuality, to become the person I always wanted to see,” Bowens said. “It also kept me in the closet because it was a landscape that people hadnโ€™t really navigated.”

Bowens continued, “You may get in there and come across someone who may not โ€˜agreeโ€™ with your lifestyle and then you have to defend yourself.”
