All Elite Wrestling, the new professional wrestling company funded by billionaire Shahid Khan and run by his son Tony, has made history as the first major wrestling promotion to sign a transgender wrestler.AEW made the announcement that it has enlisted wrestler Nyla Rose on Thursday at an event held at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, and event where they also announced the signing of Kenny Omega, quite possibly the best wrestler in the world.
