Anthony Bowens has shared an idea for AEW to revive the spirit of WWE Tough Enough under a new name.
Posting on social media, Anthony Bowens suggested AEW create its own version of the wrestling reality competition series, proposing the title “Becoming The Elite.” He also noted that the concept could provide additional content for Warner Bros. Discovery.
“I want AEW to bring back OG Tough Enough but call it ‘Becoming The Elite’ or something like that,” Bowens wrote. “WBD would love the extra content!”
Anthony Bowens Wants To Be A Judge Or Trainer If AEW Revives Tough Enough
Anthony Bowens also volunteered to serve on the show, saying he would be interested in serving as either a judge or a trainer if the idea ever became reality.
“Sign me up as a judge/trainer.”
The original Tough Enough series debuted in WWE in 2001 and helped launch the careers of several wrestlers over the years. AEW has not announced any plans for a similar project, though the company has continued expanding its media presence through additional programming and streaming content.
