>>13958048>LMAOOOOOO WHAT A FAILED + CANCELLED TRANNY FEDAEW’s LGBTQ inclusivity is not only a step toward progress but also a strategic move that will elevate the company to market leadership. By continuing to prioritize representation and delivering high-quality matches, AEW stands out as a wrestling promotion that embraces diversity and resonates with a wide audience. By featuring openly LGBTQ wrestlers and incorporating diverse storylines, AEW has positioned itself as a trailblazer in the industry.
AEW has actively signed and showcased LGBTQ talent, including performers like Anthony Bowens, who became the first openly gay AEW champion when he won the tag team titles with Max Caster. This representation matters because it allows LGBTQ fans to see themselves reflected in the wrestling world. When fans can connect with characters who share their experiences, it fosters a deeper emotional connection to the product.
AEW’s LGBTQ matches have furthermore received acclaim from both fans and critics. Websites like Cagematch and respected wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer have consistently rated these matches highly. For example, the match between Sonny Kiss and Joey Janela received a 4.75-star rating from Meltzer. The Acclaimed's defense against Orange Cassidy and Danhausen in the AEW World Tag Team Championship match earned a 9.75 rating on Cagematch. These ratings demonstrate that AEW’s LGBTQ-inclusive matches are not only groundbreaking but also deliver exceptional in-ring action.
AEW’s commitment to inclusivity has resonated with fans. AEW’s Wembley Stadium professional wrestling record of 81,035 paid tickets was a testament to the company’s efforts to create a diverse and welcoming environment. When fans feel seen and respected, they are more likely to invest emotionally in the product. AEW’s LGBTQ storylines contribute to this positive reception, and WWE simply cannot compete.
