All Elite Wrestling (2019-present)
During February 2019, it was announced Rose signed a full-time contract with All Elite Wrestling. The news produced greater headlines as Nyla Rose became the first transgender to be signed to a major promotion. On May 25, Rose made her AEW debut at AEW Double or Nothing, competing in a four-way match against Britt Baker, Awesome Kong and Kylie Rae. The following month, she returned on June 29 at Fyter Fest, competing in a triple threat match against Riho and Yuka Sakazaki. On October 2 during the series premiere of AEW Dynamite, Nyla competed against Riho for the vacant AEW Women's World Championship, ending with Riho scoring an upset victory to become the first AEW Women's Champion. Rose retaliated during the attempted post-match interview, in which she power-bombed the interviewer before turning her attempted revenge towards Riho. She was repelled by Riho's mentor Kenny Omega, intervening on Riho's behalf until Rose was escorted away from the ring by an AEW official.
