The Oklahoma State Athletic Commission has issued a warning to AEW after the company had Nyla Rose wrestle in a women’s match on a show in the state.
According to minutes from a recent meeting shared online, OSAC voted to warn AEW about having Nyla Rose – who is transgender – compete in women’s matches noting that “there will be punitive action made against them” if it happens again.
OSAC’s current rules regarding trans women in sports state:
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.
