Stephanie McMahon spoke to the Daily Beast for an article in which the site suggested that the company might be afraid to have an openly gay character. When asked about it, McMahon said that they aren’t, though she did acknowledge that Darren Young’s character hasn’t been acknowledged as gay yet.
“Darren Young was the first WWE superstar to really come out as being homosexual, but his character in the show is not,” McMahon said. “At least, we haven’t done anything with it either way — just yet.”
She added that the company is open to it, saying, “It could very well pop up in WWE because we are all about what’s relevant, and what’s pop culture, and what people want to see. So if there is an opportunity, we might just take it.”
