Nick Villa & Darren Young
Darren Young, a superstar of the WWE, shocked the masculine world of wresting when he publicly announced that he was gay back in 2013.

While he never quite hit the heights of The Rock or John Cena, it still was big news in the world of wrestling.
Darren Young’s intentions for his revelations have been interpreted as noble. It also empowered those who still keep their orientation under wraps. But in The Ellen Show, Young confessed that he came out due to him wanting to bring his boyfriend to WWE events without having to explain himself much.
