Oklahoma's Athletic Commission issued a warning to AEW for booking Nyla Rose back in December.
Earlier this week, reports surfaced that the Oklahoma Athletic Commission would be cracking down on AEW for having Nyla Rose , a trans woman, wrestling in their state. The event occurred in December of 2023 when Rose wrestled Alejandra Lion on ROH Honor Club ahead of an AEW Dynamite taping.
Rose responded to the news on X writing,"WHO THE F--K WAS IT?!! Don't worry Oklahoma, I'll find the dastardly Transgender that *checks notes* entertained fans!!! HOW DARE THEY MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY?!!!" Other wrestlers in and out of AEW voiced their displeasure as well, including independent wrestler Hyan who has worked with Rose in the past, stating that she'd no longer take bookings in the state.
"I was really surprised by this. It was not something I was expecting and of course, I was disappointed by the commission's position and by that warning, I don't think we did anything wrong," Khan expressed."I'm really, really shocked by it. I don't think there should be discrimination against transgender wrestlers or transgender people at all. And you know, they have rights and to that end, I absolutely stand by Nyla Rose.
