Oklahoma officials tell trans pro wrestler not to compete in their state

The state’s sports commission went out of its way to threaten Nyla Rose, a former AEW women’s champion, if she wrestled women in the state again.

Nyla Rose, a transgender woman, competes in the All Elite Wrestling Women's World Championship at the Capital One Arena in Washington in October 2019. Oklahoma’s sports commission has asked a nationally televised professional wrestling promotion to not have a transgender wrestler face off against other women wrestlers again.

All of this was over a Dec. 20 match in Oklahoma City that lasted 120 seconds bell to bell between Rose and Alejandra Lion. Rose won after landing a power bomb. After the match, she took a cowboy hat off the head of a fan in the crowd and put it on her head to big applause.
