Harley Cameron Anthony Bowens

Anthony Bowens started one of the more unlikely chants in wrestling history on AEW Rampage as the crowd go behind the star with a supportive “he’s gay” chant.

Bowens and his Acclaimed partner Max Caster alongside Daddy Ass Billy Gunn were in the ring on Rampage when they were forced to deal with the full complement of QTV.

Harley Cameron kicked off the issues as she attempted a rap before noting that she knew that Anthony Bowens was into her in what was a massive miscalculation. Bowens gleefully asked Cameron to look at his gear before telling her that he’s gay. That got a massive cheer from the Chicago crowd before they broke out into a “he’s gay” chant.

The Acclaimed were soon lured from the ring by QT Marshall and Aaron Solo leaving Gunn to be super kicked by a returning John Morrison, who now goes by the name of Johnny TV.

The moment of Bowens and Cameron’s confrontation along with the chant from the Chicago crowd quickly went viral with the segment being viewed over 5 million times on Twitter alone.

Fightful Select has now reported that the segment was put together for the most part by Billy Gunn and QT Marshall with Marshall asking Anthony Bowens if he was comfortable with proclaiming his sexuality on TV and the star was said to be all for it.

Anthony Bowens gave his own reaction to the segment noting how far the wrestling business has come given the support he received.
