Anthony Bowens wants AEW to revive WWE’s Tough Enough concept
Former tag team champion Anthony Bowens recently expressed his thoughts on reviving WWE’s Tough Enough in AEW under a new name.
In a recent social media update on X(formerly known as Twitter), Bowens pitched the idea to revive the concept of Tough Enough in AEW. He also opened up about how it would give extra content to Warner Bros Discovery.
Bowens also shared his interest in signing up as a judge or trainer for the concept.
“I want [AEW] to bring back OG Tough Enough but call it ‘Becoming The Elite’ or something like that. WBD would love the extra content! Sign me up as a judge/trainer [Tony Khan].”
Anthony Bowens once opened up about his character’s unfinished story in AEW
Earlier this year, while responding to a fan on social media, Bowens opened up and commented on his character’s unfinished story in AEW.
“Everything I did was purposeful and was meant to lead to something that never happened. People have stop pretending like they know everything,” he said. “Nah dude! Just informing him that his assumption of stubbornness is incorrect and based off of something he has no idea about. I can accept your opinion of me as a wrestler, whether you think I’m a 2 out of 10 or 7 out of 10, but that’s much different than having to listen to people say stupid shit like that for the last year. Have a good day!”
