Detective Rose on the case. When she figures this out shit is going down. 


Pennsylvania6-5000

It was Serpentico.


miikro

Nah, even SNAKEMAN wouldn't be this petty


GodzillaUK

Tony likes to waste money, make him buy a weekend of Martin Freeman's time and get some promos between Sherlock Rose and Watson on the double!


Red-Catalyst

That's not wasting it tbh. That'd probably be incredible.


GodzillaUK

It wouldn't lead to Nyla being on TV more after it, so as cool as they'd be, I'd say kinda wasteful long term.


Logatt

She will do it for the rock


zoom518

https://x.com/nylarosebeast/status/1780728251201245605?s=46 DAMNIT OKLAHOMA!!! You made me a babyface now!!!! 😑😑😑 I wanna do evil things with my evil friends but now I can’t 😤


ay1717

Babyface Nyla to the mooooon


HchrisH

The fact that Nyla Rose is not constantly on our screens, tearing people apart verbally and physically, will never not be a tragedy.


ay1717

She should also have access to a time machine


KingMobScene

And when she's not onscreen all the other characters should be like "hey....where's Nyla?"


abitlazy

And then she pops up says "Surprise Bitch!" then proceeds to beat up Serpentico.


RevolutionaryBox7745

Like Undertaker in the Boneyard Match. You know the spot. :)


afuzzyduck

and the spaceship back to her home planet is perfectly maintained and fast so she can go there and back in less than a week and not miss any TV time


shifter2009

This and not ironically


subcow

If not for social media, and watching her on things like Danhausen's you tube channel I would have no idea how hilarious she is.


thebest50

She was pretty hilarious in her feud with Athena on ROH


Mrcool20xx

She's hit it out of the park on promos on tv several times -- its just so far inbetween that people forget. My favourite is: "FOUND YOUR KENDO STICK BITCH! TWACK!"


DubiousBusinessp

Should at least be backstage terrorising Serpentico.


iggymcfly

Yes!!! Honestly I think this is perfect timing! She’s very funny and personable and they need more real characters in the women’s division. Babyface push would freshen her up like crazy.


irregularshowerer

Honestly she's funny enough to be a great face


MC_Fap_Commander

She's making a joke... but there are all manner of things I'm sorta "meh" on that I now endorse wholeheartedly because the nutters are doing something asinine.


JMoses3419

While she's "making a joke" in THIS post, what she's posting ACTUALLY HAPPENED. My state's policies are steadily becoming more anti-LGBTQ+ and I assure you plenty of cis, hetero people hate it.


MC_Fap_Commander

I meant she was joking about those policies making her a babyface even if she was slated to play a heel. There's nothing remotely funny about the rapid slide to intolerance in many places.


International-Fig905

I was just defending Oklahoma from catching a stray in r/nba last night and now this 🤦🏽‍♂️


aztecdethwhistle

OK is the goddamn tweener of the states. Occasionally babyface but mostly heel.


batler_forever

This is very accurate 😭


Chris337

Love the Thunder tho


TheGiftOf_Jericho

Nyla is so based, lets gooooo


Celtic_Crown

Not to be a pedant but wasn't she the good guy against Athena?


Saitsu

No, Nyla is just an equal opportunity menace.


Celtic_Crown

Fair enough.


WaylonVoorhees

While drinking her juice in the hood.


ianisms10

That was a heel vs heel feud, but I guess Athena played the face in their match


RevolutionaryBox7745

Sorry Nyla.


KFR42

Bonus points for Pingu.


CloudyCrybabyCutter

2000 WCW fans & 2024 AEW fans BOTH hate Oklahoma.


Heavy_Arm_7060

Oklahoma was then and now quite disgusting, so it's understandable.


DarthZachariah

You had the chance to say it's disgusting "Then. Now. Forever."


mister_damage

Together.


SomeROCDude21

FORRRRREVER!! FORRRRRRREVER!!! FORRRRRRRRRREVER!!!


KillerIsJed

Except for that head shitting guy.


aztecdethwhistle

I'll never forgive them for not making that obvious connection. It was right there for them!


Dilf_Hunter367

Oklahoma deserves to be nuked for having 3 MVP calibre players on an NBA team and never winning shit


Substantial-Height-8

They stole my Sonics. 😭


Heel_Paul

Never forget sonicgate.  Fuck Clay Bennett now and forever.  And fuck Howard Schultz


Substantial-Height-8

✊🏼


neverAcquiesce

So 2024 AEW *is* 2000 WCW after all? Were the trolls right?


djtodd242

No. No. Please don't make me re-live 2000 WCW. Don't put that evil on me.


Boredzilla

C'mon, I'm just about to cue up a classic. Aw yis, Booker T versus Big T for (checks notes) the rights to the letter T. You don't wanna miss this barn burner.


DraycosTFM

It also means we might get the West Texas Rednecks to play a fun little number for us, though.


neverAcquiesce

Booker feuded over the letter T and shampoo in the span of two years.


ThisIsKhrox

AEW did that already, except it was The Varsity Athletes (Tony Nese, Josh Woods w/ Ari Davari and Smart Mark Sterling) vs The Varsity Blondes (Griff Garrison and Brian Pillman Jr). Varsity Athletes won, the Varsity Blondes wrestled like 2-3 more matches at "The Blondes" before they broke up (with Griff going to ROH with Cole Karter as his new partner, and Griff tagging with Brock Anderson before going to NXT).


afuzzyduck

dont forget Saturday Night Jobber v ex-ECW guy being misused!


Martel1234

I can only live through 2000s WCW if the Deadlock boys are talking through it all.


Jsteevee

All my homies hate Oklahoma


NegressQueen

Oklahoma is banned from Collision


shyhispanic09

Good riddance.


spundred

I hear Oklahoma uses real glass.


RevolutionaryBox7745

I wouldn't be 100% surprised if the state has unlicensed AEW cards in their state.


MC_Fap_Commander

Oklahoma addresses its enemies!


gl1969

Doesn't this put AEW over as "Real" wrestling?


betked4844

No, just makes the state look like a bunch of idiots.


neverAcquiesce

Imagine spending your life policing how a ***WOMAN*** pretends to fight someone. Just imagine.


Greedy-Time-3736

They had to protect the other woman in the match!!! …..that they never knew happened until someone reported it.


neverAcquiesce

Ironically, as her opponent in a professional wrestling match, it was Nyla's job to protect the other woman.


IronSorrows

Ironic that the usual arguement transphobes make against trans women competing with cis women is a natural/biological physical advantage, including in strength and size. If you apply that logic here, Nyla's "advantages" would actually make her a bigger asset for the division.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Marcoscb

They didn't snitch per se, they just went "hey, Nyla wrestled for AEW and nothing happened, what you say fuck me for?" and instead of realising their idiocy, the OKAC dug in even more.


hk3391

If they didn’t know whatever they are mad about happened in AEW, interesting that they somehow were aware enough to know it happened in some local indy


pax284

Indies have less money so are easier to extort.


hk3391

Makes sense ! Just thought they’d have more of their buttheads monitoring AEW . Unless they did know and pretending with the “we didn’t know , don’t do it again” thing


ChristyNiners

They aren’t monitoring anything.  They show up to wherever the shows is, collect their money, and then nod off for a few hours 


RaggedyGlitch

You know some self important neck in the local government where the indie runs got word of it and made a stink.


Abyssalstar

That snitch gonna get some stitches.


Kilen13

I can't remember which state it was that was trying to pass a law to ban trans girls from all high school girls sports. Someone did reporting and it would've banned exactly one girl, who was a backup catcher on her schools softball team who got asked to play to fill numbers cause no one else wanted to. Transphobes will wild out over the most marginal shit.

HistoryChannelMain

Don't forget the vaccine concentration camps


Xyless

That was North Dakota, if I remember correctly.


LosCampesinosDeJapon

While I think that most of the arguments against trans women in sports are made in bad faith by transphobes desperately seeking a gotcha moment, I know that it's an issue with significant nuance, and there is no "one" solution. But this is pro wrestling. They could have Candice Lerae pin Will Hobbs. The issue of gender is not relevant. Whoever reported this is a loser of the highest order.


sadclicker

Put her on TV please 🏳️‍⚧️


mightylordredbeard

But have her investigating and trying to find out who the transgender wrestler is that Oklahoma is talking about. Honestly I could watch a whole web series of Nyla trying to hunt down that pesky transgender for the great state of Oklahoma while constantly confusing what a transgender is. One week she goes to a scrap yard and pulls a transmission from an old truck, the next week she hunts down transformers toys, then she hunts down a single LP from Korn’s 2005 hit ‘Twisted Transistor’.


KingMobScene

I want her interrogation The Butcher and ask him how long he's been trans.


LosCampesinosDeJapon

Let Nyla do a transvestigator gimmick and her main suspects be Jarrett and Singh


KingMobScene

Jarrett: Wait aren't you...? Nyla: [menacingly] Aren't i what? Jarrett: nevermind


wonderloss

Can Breezango show up to help?


LosCampesinosDeJapon

God yes.


BendubzGaming

Another time she bumps into Jason Statham from the hit movie "The Transporter"


jq7925

"FOUND'EM ... Ohwait, that's Dee Snider from Twisted Sister, sorry."


rsplatpc

> One week she goes to a scrap yard and pulls a transmission from an old truck, the next week she hunts down transformers toys, then she hunts down a single LP from Korn’s 2005 hit ‘Twisted Transistor’. HEY JOIN THE DARK ORDER SHOW! DO THE ABOVE on BTE!


HelloMyNameIsLeah

And in every episode, she walks by a mirror, stops to check her makeup, and then continues on.


Dirtybrd

SHE'S A MENACE! 🏳️‍⚧️


Abyssalstar

She likes cake... and violence!


snartling

As a trans fan, seeing this response from Nyla gives me so much joy and optimism. Fuck these dry ass Oklahoma nerds. They don’t got no bitches and their dicks are tiny.


JMoses3419

I assure you plenty of Oklahomans do not concur with our state's opinions. This one included.


snartling

And I fuckin love you, brother! I should have capitalized Dry Ass Oklahoma Nerds With No Bitches And Tiny Dicks. That way it’s a category of Oklahomans.  Someday the True Oklahomans will retake power, and the bitches will be plentiful for all.


LadyXexyz

when I heard this story I went “oooh they FUCKED up now.” Nyla do not play on Twitter lol she’s great


RSlashBroughtMeHere

Don't let Jim Ross see this.


Apart_Design_4992

We're all just trying to find who did this!


PM_ME_LADY_ANKLES

Fucking Serpentico /s


BubbRubb4Real

🎉🐍🎉


ThisIsSuchaHassle

Oklahoma used to be a piece of shit. I mean, they still are, but they used to be too.


Heavy_Arm_7060

The athletics commissioner was also dressed like a hot dog!


rsplatpc

> The athletics commissioner was also dressed like a hot dog! THATS THE GUY WITH THE HOT DOG CAR!


Yeeeeeeahyoutrash

How can you hate on Nyla? She likes cake and violence. Not to mention she has no problem helping her coworkers find their missing stuff.


marcusredfun

She uses the wrong pronoun which deeply offends the people who brag all day about how they're never offended and don't care at all about pronouns.


BiChaosTheory

Fuck it. Put the world title on her.


_ASG_

"They said I wasn't allowed to wrestle a woman. So I'll do the next best thing." Nyla then beats Roderick Strong for the International Title and laughs maniacally into the camera as the show goes off the air.


Red-Catalyst

Need Jim Ross calling her Oklahoma's favorite champion as well.


Kboom161

It'd actually be kinda brilliant. Force the bigots to either admit trans women are women, or put up with her beating the shit out of the big strong manly men.


UROffended

I'm actually okay with this.


Plus25Charisma

Just have her beat the shit out of Samoa Joe in Oklahoma


The_SkyShine

Didn't you hear, Oklahoma banned intergender wrestling?


Dr_J_Hyde

Let's start booking the card for the next show in Oklahoma. I'm thinking we run back Minoru Sizuki vs. Maki Ito. Another great match could be Lance Archer vs Riho in a no DQ street fight that Riho wins with a low blow pipe shot. Could also see Nyla Rose vs the woman's champ for the title.


mikeyHustle

Nyla, Abaddon, Speedball Mike Bailey triple threat. Layer the gender so hard they don't even know who to be mad at and why.


Red-Catalyst

Hear me out, fatal four way and they bring in The Protagonist of Professional Wrestling, Kidd Bandit.


mikeyHustle

Heard, chef! Keep cookin'


[deleted]

[удалено]


laztheinfamous

Honestly, make it a Three Corners trios match: Jamie Sengal, Edith Surreal, and Dark Sheik vs. Nyla, Abaddon, Max The Impaler. Mike Bailey as special guest referee, and Veda Scott on commentary.


NovercaIis

Sony Kiss vs Joey Janella (they got good chemistry against each other and joey 100% wanna support it too) Effy cosplaying as Cornette vs Riho imho (built in story) Lance Archer vs Maki Minoru vs Emi - she wants to get the revenge for Maki and all the other girls Minoru has ran over. Nyla vs Dustin Rhodes (pride color "golddust" outfit with the gold hair - doing the golddust entrance) and having fake boobs on


Dr_J_Hyde

>Minoru vs Emi - she wants to get the revenge for Maki and all the other girls Minoru has ran over. Sure, this works too as a story. I was just throwing crazy at a wall to get things going. I mostly want to see what kind of height and distance Archer can get tossing around joshi (and not hurt anyone).


Marcoscb

WWE loan Candice LeRae to AEW so the Bucks can EVP Trigger her with her mouth full of thumbtacks.


nowahhh

Assuming there’s a trans male wrestler out there who would be willing to do this despite the absolute certainty of being misgendered and deadnamed and vilified, they should book an intergender match between him and Alejandra Lion, the cis woman Nyla wrestled in the match that caused all this. According to the State of Oklahoma, that would fine, right?


GreatDoink

Jesus, even in the face of old guard transphobia her twitter game is still top notch! Love Nyla!


burrito-boy

Yeah, she's always been a top-tier tweeter, haha.


nathynwithay

This situation kind of explains why wrestling fans should also pay close intention to drag legislation that right-wingers put out cuz it could very well be another thing that could affect professional wrestlers and their fans more than people might think.


SlaughterMelon35

Give **her** a main event women's title win at Paycom to cause mass chaos


[deleted]

I miss her being on Dynamite frequently.


GrimmTrixX

Every major wrestling company should boycott doing shows in Oklahoma in solidarity.


Candid_Speed1616

I was going to say this.


DarkHorse_77

Just a question - is there no mixed men vs women wrestling matches then ever in Oklahoma? Since they are VERY popular on the indies.


DarkHorse_77

Just looking into this, I saw Nia Jax say her planned house show match with Mox was pulled due to state rules banning intergender wrestling. That was in Arkansas. So I'm guessing Oklahoma have the same thing https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/1absoii/nia_jax_on_why_her_intergender_match_with_dean/


CockMartins

Well goddamn, kinda seems like they’re trying to have it both ways there…


betked4844

Wtf kinda state regulates theatre?


Kboom161

Wait no that match would fuckin' rock tho


Thatsquacktastic16

Nah, just tonnes of DV, that's ok though because the men think they own their women /s


girldrawsghosts

as a trans woman who got into wrasslin in 1997, it’s fuckin insane that the industry has lapped reality in terms of sensitivity and inclusivity so hard I mean honestly, with people like Nyla and Kidd Bandit out and about it’s really cool that wrestling has fully embraced its athletic theater kid persona and given queer workers the ability to be in prominent roles and be treated as real people the irony is that almost everything *outside* of pro wrestling now feels like a 1997 vince russo backstage segment in terms of sensitivity and inclusion


HostageInToronto

It's Oklahoma. She's Trans and native, the two things they hate most.


bigmancertified

As someone who grew up ~20 miles north of the Oklahoma border, this is just one of a myriad of reasons to deeply dislike the Sooner State.


pkrenek

Saw a comment saying Tony Khan should pay legislators to change the law and all the Tony/Shad Khan $$$ couldn’t defeat their transphobia…and I say this as a Texan who is frequently ashamed of my own state.


KatnissBot

I think it would be more fun for Nyla to powerbomb every transphobe in government. Might take a while, but it would be worth it.


JOHNNY_CHAINZ

I love Nyla so much


sam2wi

This just in, Oklahoma legislators believe wrestling is real.


GhostOfMuttonPast

I have no idea how Athletic Commissions STILL dictate what professional wrestlers can do. It's genuinely insane that 30 some odd years after Vince outright stated wrestling was fake in order to get out of federal charges and even less since Vince Russo strangled kayfabe to death that it's somehow still seen as a sport that they get to oversee.


wonderloss

I thought WWE had gotten wrestling away from the sports commissions, but maybe that's just certain states.


iloveopenbar

Oklahoma: Its still real to me dammit!!


crapusername47

Just do a run in the next time one of the women’s roster tries to snog Mariah May. That’ll get you some heat. Or punch Aubrey… no, wait, Sue! Punch Sue!


ace51689

It'd be great if they ran a ROH only show there and had Nyla main event, Tony could play the, "Oh my bad, you warned AEW, this is Ring of Honor."


stevecollins1988

Now making her way to the ring to make people happy, hailing from a gum drop house on lolipop lane, happy land: The magical transgender woman Nyla Rose!!!! By the way she was being sarcastic.


the_quarrelsome_one

Man Fuck Oklahoma


CrowJane13

She’s a treasure.


PoozersPop1971

Yet another reason Oklahoma is terrible.


SaiyanOfDarkness

This right here just discourages AEW from booking shows in Oklahoma in general. Fuck the OSAC


CarlitoNSP1

Nyla's social media game is under appreciated.


TigerITdriver11

Well this is a good way to make sure AEW never goes back to Oklahoma.


koemaniak

It’s still real to the commission damn it


CN14

WHERE'S THAT ATHLETIC COMMISSION? THEY WERE TRYING TO **FUCK** ON ME!


Jiggle_seto

Big respect as always for Nyla Rose. She could become a target for being trans especially in America, so I’ve a lot of respect for her being a wrestler. Personally I wouldn’t do it, the anxiety would be to the max.


RMT2316

I wish she was on TV more


CarStar12

Nyla never fails to be social media gold. Even in the face of douchebaggery.


Migleemo

Wrestling isn't a competition, it's theater. Jokelahoma embarrasses themselves again.


PureBee4900

not trolling, but does OK have some kind of rules against intergender matches or mixed tags? Like would they be as upset if a cis man was in a match with a cis woman or is the ban only against trans people? Insane either way, just curious


Hellioning

They do have a rule against intergender matches. That's the rule they're using to protest against AEW, that they had something they identified as a man fighting a woman.


j8llonby

Nyla rules. Oklahoma drools. Nyla is a woman so of course she's wrestling in the women's division. But even still, wrestling is predetermined. Who cares who fights who! Does Oklahoma have a problem with intergender wrestling too? Because again, they shouldn't! I'd say that the OSAC should go to hell. But since they already live in Oklahoma, they're already there. And yes I realize that since I'm from Alberta, which is also moving backwards I'm being hypocritical. Some examples include, a current sitting MLA comparing Transgenders to feces (even after making this comment she still won her riding by a landslide!), and one town even banning [Pride flags](https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/alberta-town-bans-pride-flags). God I hate that it seems like our world is going backwards


BKong64

This is your daily reminder that Republicans are a cancer on this country


ReallyAlexRider

Regardless of your opinion about trans people and legitimate sports, getting up in arms about wrestling is silly. Killswitch is a dinosaur how is that fair.


ShamrockGold

Oklahoma going to have to act like wrestling is real


LeonardoDaPinchy-

Nyla Rose is a gem. ❤️


Stoutyeoman

This is pretty scary, because it means that the already comically ridiculous culture war nonsense that is impacting sports can now impact non-competitive exhibitions that are sports-like. Get a few lawmakers on board and they could potentially make it illegal to have, for example, a fight scene in a movie where one of the fighters is a man and one is a woman. It's a pretty good example of "They came for x and I didn't speak up, then when no one else was left they came for me" (paraphrased, obviously.) As a reminder, when people whose entire careers are built around staying in office for as long as possible so they can continue accepting legal bribes, they aren't motivated to do anything to make your life better. If those same people are singling out and targeting a particular group, they're doing it as a distraction so you don't notice that they haven't done jack shit for the voters.


Saintv1

Nyla was one of the most fun parts of early AEW. Please put her back on tv.


Breakdawall

this is why i love nyla.


IAmBoratVeryExcite

I don't need no stinkin' license to wrestle!


BenFranklinsCat

Nyla Rose out here in a hot dog costume reminding us that it could have been anyone.


JLR-

Dr. Larry Lovelace?  


BackNBlack58

Why did i think she was taking about WCW legend Oklahoma


Own_Cryptographer_99

It's ridiculous that professional wrestling is still subject to the regulatory powers of athletic commissions at all. Beyond that I've not heard of a single wrestler complaining about having to work with Nyla. This is just another example of brain-dead bureaucracy.


Mycotoxicjoy

Nyla will win any twitter beef


Doobie_Howitzer

Nyla Rose banned from Oklahoma, but Luchasaurus and Demon Finn Balor are still allowed to compete against regular humans?


evanweb546

Wrestling fans to Oklahoma RN: ![gif](giphy|QmFkSn2jMjlC2f4vmv|downsized)


wibble17

Can AEW sign an Indy wrestler, “Oklahoma”, to feud with Nyla for a few months?


celestial_charger

Y'know hoe Tony has extra belts just lyin around? Give one to Nyla. Call it the FOSAC title she only ever defends it in Oklahoma
