The Acclaimed, comprising Anthony Bowens and Max Caster, have etched their place in AEW history as one of its most celebrated tag teams. Their segment on the June 23rd episode of Rampage catapulted them into the spotlight, particularly praised for its positive portrayal of Bowens’ homosexuality.
In the latest episode of AEW Unrestricted, Harley Cameron opened up about her unforgettable experience during the segment with The Acclaimed. As she attempted to pursue Anthony Bowens, she was gracefully turned down due to his sexual orientation.
The unexpected outpouring of support from the crowd, chanting ‘He is gay,’ left Cameron awestruck. She described the moment as both exhilarating and heartwarming, embracing the challenge and applauding the audience’s overwhelming backing of Bowens.
“It was honestly so fun, and everyone involved in that was so wonderful,” Cameron reminisced. “I was so thankful for the opportunity to be trusted with the microphone… I really love the way we got to have fun and be comedic with it, but it was also like a really important and cool thing.”
Reflecting on a pivotal moment in the segment, Cameron highlighted Billy Gunn’s supportive gesture, which helped her navigate the overwhelming crowd reaction. This moment marked a significant milestone in Cameron’s journey, symbolizing her growth from her early training days to performing on the grand stage of AEW.
Since the segment, Cameron has been featured alongside Saraya and Zak Knight on AEW television, further cementing her presence in the wrestling world.
