Brolic men throwing around and body slamming each other in their underwear, one of them is bound to be gay, right? However, no WWE pro wrestling star has ever come out of the closet before, until now.

Reports TMZ:

WWE superstar Darren Young just dropped a bombshell, telling TMZ, he’s gay … and no, this isn’t part of the act.

Darren was at LAX Wednesday when we asked whether a gay wrestler could succeed in WWE, and Darren laughed, saying, “Absolutely. Look at me. I’m a WWE superstar and to be honest with you, I’ll tell you right now, I’m gay. And I’m happy. I’m very happy.”

For the record, Darren is now the first openly gay wrestler ever at WWE … and the first headlining wrestler ever to come out while still signed to a major promotion.

Other pro wrestlers have been rumored to be gay, but that’s it … just rumors.

So before you consider saying a homophobic remark about Mr. Young, ask yourself this; would you say it to his face?

Watch Darren Young make his big reveal below.
