Speaking at a Beyond Sport United event in New York this week, WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon said her organization — best known for its wrestling showdowns — is committed to LGBT inclusivity.
“Throughout my life I have grown up knowing gay [WWE] superstars and executives,” McMahon told NBC OUT backstage. “It’s always been accepted, but now it’s about getting that message out there.”
McMahon grinned as she reminisced about wrestling legend Pat Patterson, the first-ever WWE Intercontinental Champion, who just this week released a book, titled “Accepted.”
