Nyla Rose Receives 'Art For Change' Award From Morgantown, WV Mayor

Nyla Rose was honored by the city of Morgantown, West Virginia, for her trailblazing contributions during Pride Month.

Nyla Rose is one of the first AEW Women's Champions. She also happens to be transgender. Recently, she announced on her Instagram that she had been honored by the city of Morgantown with a proclamation signed by Mayor Joe Abu-Ghannam, recognizing her as a trailblazing transgender woman of color and for using her platform to break barriers and increase visibility for queer athletes in mainstream sports.

The proclamation also highlighted her artistry, courage, and Unapologetic authenticity.

Nyla Rose hasn't appeared on AEW TV since the November 22, 2024 episode of AEW Rampage, and the last time she wrestled in an AEW-branded event was during the Chris Jericho Cruise in January.

She recently posted on social media that if fans wanted to see more of her, they needed to make their voice heard and be consistent about it.

Congratulations to Nyla Rose on this honor.
