3. Darren Young
Young bears the distinction of being the league’s very first actively wrestling openly gay superstar. He first debuted on the very first season of NXT, and continues to foster a career that has left many talented wrestlers in its wake.
In August, 2013, Young opened up about his sexuality for the first time. He claims he was inspired by the love for his boyfriend to come out to the public. It was a particularly stressful endeavor considering he was currently signed by the league, and nobody knew how the league’s management would react. After the interview, several wrestlers came forward in support of Young. The league also issued a statement supporting their superstar, and Young currently continues to wrestle for the league.
