Description

From the inclusive rallying cry of "The Bálor Club is for everyone" to drag queens lighting up WrestleMania weekend events, it’s clear that professional wrestling is experiencing a gay renaissance. Some highlight openly gay superstars like Daria Rae Berenato (formerly known as Sonya Deville in WWE), whose sexuality wasn’t treated as a gimmick. Others point to the rise of promotions like Matter of Pride Wrestling or AEW’s increasing visibility of LGBTQ talent. These moments mark real progress — but as the industry moves forward, it’s important to look back. Wrestling’s path to inclusivity has been far from smooth, and understanding its past is crucial to shaping a more accepting future.
