Stephanie McMahon Says Darren Young’s Character Isn’t Gay, But Could Be Soon
Jen Yamamoto of The Daily Beast recently questioned whether or not WWE is “too scared to go LGBT,” in the headline of a new story. WWE executive Stephanie McMahon claims WWE is not, yet noted that openly gay wrestler Darren Young’s (Fred Rosser III) character is not gay.
“Darren Young was the first WWE Superstar to really come out as being homosexual, but his character in the show is not,” said McMahon.
“At least, we haven’t done anything with it either way — just yet.”
Stephanie added that WWE is open to the idea of having gay characters.
“It could very well pop up in WWE because we are all about what’s relevant, and what’s pop culture, and what people want to see,” she said. “So if there is an opportunity, we might just take it.”
