Anthony Bowens, known to wrestling fans as “The Pride of Pro Wrestling” and one-half of the popular AEW tag team The Acclaimed, is set to expand his impressive resume by stepping into the world of daytime television!

Bowens, a trailblazing openly gay champion in All Elite Wrestling, recently announced that he has landed his first role on a soap opera. While the specific show remains a closely guarded secret, the news has generated significant buzz among both wrestling enthusiasts and daytime drama fans.

Speculation is rife, with many wondering if he’ll appear on long-running favorites like “Days of Our Lives,” “General Hospital,” “The Young and the Restless,” or “The Bold and the Beautiful.”

The move highlights Bowens’ versatility and charisma, qualities that have made him a standout in the wrestling world.

Known for his “Five Tool Player” moniker, encompassing power, athleticism, intelligence, looks, and “IT factor,” it’s clear he’s ready to bring that same magnetic presence to a new audience.

This isn’t Bowens’ first foray into the broader entertainment industry. He has previously appeared in television commercials and lent his voice to various projects. His acting aspirations have been well-documented, and this new soap opera role marks a significant step in his burgeoning career outside the squared circle.

Fans can still catch Bowens in action in AEW, but now they’ll also be eagerly anticipating his debut on the small screen, ready to see “The Pride of Pro Wrestling” conquer another domain.
