Oklahoma State Commission Warns AEW Over Transgender Nyla Rose Wrestling Females, Rose ReactsMatt BooneApr 18, 2024 - 11:20 am

AEW has been issued a warning over Nyla Rose.

The Oklahoma State Athletic Commission issued a warning to AEW over "allowing a transgender (born male) to compete against a female wrestler.

Colleen Welcher of okcfox.com obtained notes from an Oklahoma State Athletic Commission meeting that occurred in January 2024:

ITEM F. DISCUSSION INTO WHAT PUNITIVE ACTION TO TAKE AGAINST AEW FOR ALLOWING A TRANSGENDER (BORN MALE) TO COMPETE AGAINST A FEMALE.

The Administrator, Joe Miller, explained that AEW, A professional wrestling organization, had an event at the Paycom Center on December 20, 2023, where a transgender wrestler (born male) had a match with a female wrestler. OSAC had no idea as the wrestler had filled his wrestling license application out as a female. OSAC was alerted by a local wrestling organization that had previously done the same thing. That organization acknowledged they knew that was a violation of the OSAC rules and that they would refrain from doing it again in the future. Joe Miller explained that he called AEW and explained that it was a violation of the OSAC rules. He then asked the Commission if there was any other action, they would like to take against AEW. Mike Bower stated that the OSAC boxing, kickboxing and mma applications all ask if someone has had gender reassignment but the wrestling application does not. He stated that it needs to be updated so this doesn't happen in the future. Commission members asked questions and discussed the issues that come along with male vs female wrestling.

Nyla reacted to this on X.

""WHO THE F*CK WAS IT?!! Don't worry Oklahoma I'll find the dastardly Transgender that *checks notes* entertained fans," Rose wrote. "HOW DARE THEY MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY?!!!"
