The Oklahoma Athletic Commission has warned AEW not to allow “a transgender (born male) to compete against a female” again in the state following the December 20, 2023 Dynamite from the Paycom Center.

In a meeting between members of the Commission, Administrator Joe Miller said that they had no idea about this before as the wrestler in question, Nyla Rose, filled her wrestling license application as a female.

Miller said that he called AEW and explained that it was a violation of the OSAC rules and asked the Commission to take action against the company.

Another Commission member, Mike Bower, stated that the wrestling application fails to ask if someone had gender reassignment unlike the boxing or MMA applications so it needs to be updated.

It was then decided that since there was already something like this which happened with a local wrestling promotion and they only got a warning, they should be consistent and instead just issue a warning to AEW to refrain from pitting a born male against a born female in a wrestling match or else there would be punitive damages.

Section 92:10-1-5 of the OSAC states that “The Commission will not approve sanctioning permits between human participants and non-humans or between males and females. A male participant is a person of the heterogametic sex born with XY chromosomes. A female participant is a person born of the homogametic sex with XX chromosomes.”

Responding to the news, Rose joked on X by asking, “Who the f*ck was it?” She then added, “Don’t worry Oklahoma I’ll find the dastardly Transgender that *checks notes* entertained fans!!! HOW DARE THEY MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY?!!!”

At the media conference today ahead of Dynasty, AEW President Tony Khan was asked for his reaction and he said that he’s disappointed by the Commission’s decision and warning. He said that he feels AEW did nothing wrong and there shouldn’t be any discrimination.

Khan was also non-committal about future shows in the state but said he’ll do anything to continue supporting their Oklahoma fans.
