Gay wrestler Anthony Bowens wins AEW title at historic Wembley Stadium show

Anthony Bowens and Max Caster promised the ‘biggest scissor party on earth’ and they delivered under the Wembley Stadium arch at AEW All In London.

Everybody loves The Acclaimed, and openly gay wrestler Bowens – who is the first gay titleholder in All Elite Wrestling history after claiming tag gold with Caster in 2022 – added to his already rich legacy.

The duo teamed up with WWE legend Billy Gunn as he reprised his Bad Ass persona as they challenged House of Black.

The pink-clad trio emerged triumphed in a highly entertaining match, and Bowens got the mic after the bell to share a sweet message to their mentor.

He said: ‘We told you two months ago we were going to bring you back to the top and put the gold you deserve around your waist. And here it is.’

He handed the gold over, but there still more business to be done as The Acclaimed wanted to make good on a promise involving their signature ‘scissor’ hand gesture.

‘But it really wasn’t – it was super, super positive. And the fact we got a full arena giving a standing ovation and chanting ‘he’s gay’… all the reactions in the ring were very genuine between myself, Billy [Gunn] and Caster.’

AEW All In London returns to Wembley Stadium on August 25, 2024.
