Kai Vang

“I may be soft-spoken outside of the ring, but once I step inside...I'm a force to be reckoned with.”

Born and raised in Mexico City to Laotian parents, Kai Vang always stood out from the crowd. After discovering his love for wrestling in high school, he pursued his dream of becoming a WWE superstar. His strength and charisma won over fans all around the world, but it wasn't until he publicly came out as gay that he truly found his voice. Now, Kai uses his platform to fight for LGBTQ+ rights, especially in the Latinx community.

When did you first realize you were gay?

It wasn't until I was in my early 20s that I started to come to terms with it. I didn't have a lot of LGBTQ+ role models growing up, especially in the wrestling world, so it was a very lonely experience at first.

How do you balance your public persona with your personal life?

It's definitely a challenge, but I have an amazing support system that helps me navigate it all. My partner is incredibly understanding, and my family has always been there for me even when things get tough.
