A post shared by Anthony Bowens (@bowens_official)Bowens, 32, made history last fall when he became the first out gay male champion in All Elite Wrestling history.
On a fateful September night, he captured the AEW World Tag Team championships with his partner Max Caster. Better yet, Bowen’s big win happened Queens, N.Y., just an hour from his hometown in Nutley, N.J. #TheAcclaimed have done it!
