Anthony Bowens had an inspirational message for fans on social media after his historic wrestling win.
Bowens, who came out in 2017, became the first out gay champion in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) history on September 21 when he and wrestling partner Max Caster won the AEW World Tag Team championships.
With a gradual increase over the last few years of wrestlers coming out, or already out LGBTQ+ wrestlers rising in visibility, having an out AEW champion no longer felt like an impossibility, but it’s still an incredible accomplishment for Bowens to make it a reality.
Understanding what an important moment this was both for himself personally and for progress in wrestling, Bowens had a message to any fans who might be struggling with their own identities.
“I never thought that I would be able to live my dream because there was a time when I was very confused. And I didn’t know how to accept myself,” he admitted. “But I fought through that shit. I fought through all that shit. And now I cry because I’m a champion.”
Getting even more to the point, he addressed anyone “who feels like me,” saying, “It doesn’t even have to be about your sexuality. It could be you’re depressed, you’re bullied in life, or life just sucks, just know that everything gets better. We love you. I love you.”

Actor Kevin Spacey’s accuser, Anthony Rapp, was grilled by the defense Tuesday during a civil trial in Manhattan federal court. Rapp, who accuses the fellow actor of sexually assaulting him when Rapp was 14 in 1986, admitted on the stand that there are flaws to his story. While the accuser remembers — and has testified — that the incident happened in a bedroom at Spacey’s Upper East Side apartment in Manhattan, Spacey's attorney, Jennifer Keller, got Rapp to admit "it is possible" there was no bedroom and that Spacey actually lived in a studio. The defense is trying to show the jury that Rapp may be confusing fiction with reality. Jurors watched a scene from the 1986’s Broadway play "Precious Sons," in which Ed Harris starred as Rapp’s father.
