Nyla Rose Doesn’t Think Tony Khan Is Why She’s Not On AEW TV

Nyla Rose says that she doesn’t think Tony Khan is the reason she’s not currently on AEW television. The former AEW Women’s World Champion has not competed on AEW TV since November of 2024, when she was part of a tag team match on AEW Rampage. She has remained active on the independent scene, working for companies like Marvelous, Pro-Wrestling: EVE and more, and works in a backstage capacity at AEW.

Rose was a guest on Jasmin St. Claire’s Krazy Train Podcast, where the JCW personality jokingly suggested that she could “beat up” Khan so Rose could get on TV. Rose noted that she doesn’t think Khan is the reason she isn’t on TV and that she has a good relationship with the AEW president. You can see highlights below:

On If Tony Khan Is Why She’s Not On AEW TV More:

“No, I genuinely don’t think it’s him. I genuinely, genuinely don’t think it’s him. You know how they say, ‘Trust your gut?’ And this isn’t me just like glazing him because he’s my boss or anything like that. It’s just — there may be some things I can’t talk about or like, things I can only speculate on. But in my heart of hearts, just the relationship that we have and the conversations that we have, I don’t think it’s him, you know?”

On Khan Being a Good Person To Work With:

“And not even the fact that he’s just nice. He’s genuine, right? Like he, he’s not really one to tell you what you want to hear, you know? He’ll — if it’s what doesn’t need to be or what can’t be, he’ll tell you. He absolutely will be like, ‘No, that’s not going to happen.’ Like there’s been a lot of times I’m in the office and I’m like, “Hey, Tony, let’s do this, da da da.’ He’s like, ‘Mmmm, no. We’re not doing that. We’re — just, no.’ And I’m like, ‘Okay, you got it, boss!’

“I’ve been begging him to let me get hit by a car for like, four years. Yeah, he won’t let me get hit by a car. He’s like, “Nyla, no — we’re not going to hit you with a car.” I’m like, ‘It would be great, it would be so good! Like, I can do it. I’ve done it in film. Let me get hit by a car!’ He’s like, ‘No.’ [chuckles]”
