AEW’s Nyla Rose: Critical Opinions Of Transgender Wrestling Are “Willful Ignorance”
Nyla Rose is the first transgender wrestler working for a major promotion. Even if many wrestling fans focus on her accomplishments in the ring while working at All Elite Wrestling, there are those that take issue with her for some reason or another.
During New York Comic-Con, AEW wrestlers Nyla Rose and Jungle Boy spoke about transgender wrestling during a roundtable interview, and Rose had an interesting and hilarious way to look at this so-called controversy. “On TV, [there are] all these television shows about ghosts and ghost hunters, and everyone’s like, ‘Yeah, ghosts!’ Okay,” she jokingly stated. “First of all, nevermind the fact that you’re in like an 18th century German castle. Why is the ghost speaking English? Nevermind that. But everybody’s like, ‘Yeah ghosts! That’s plausible.’ They get shows [where people] hunt for Bigfoot. ‘Oh, let’s go hunt bigfoot. He’s definitely out there.’
“But the second you’re like, ‘Hey, I’m trans, and I just don’t feel right inside.’ [People say] ‘Oh that’s preposterous! There’s no way that’s possible!’ That is the wildest s*** to me,” Rose continued. “There’s a lot of misinformation, and a lot of it is just people being stubborn because it’s different because it’s weird and wild and zany. They don’t want to learn about it, and they’ll just kind of take all the crap that they’ve been told and just run with that. Not look at new science, not look at new studies. It’s willful ignorance is what it is.”
While the scenario Rose presented drew a lot of laughs from the roundtable, it’s a perfect point. Wrestling is nothing more than entertainment and no different than some of the more preposterous supposed reality TV programming.
And on the same note, Jungle Boy–an AEW wrestler who is smaller in stature compared to his co-workers–made note about the size difference between competitors. “I’ve wrestled guys like three times my size, and no one makes a fuss about that,” he explained.
Rose additionally noted that she wants to be known as more than a transgender wrestler, that it should be normalized: Where trans people can live in a world where it’s not an issue, and they can live normal lives. She also noted she wants to world to know that she likes photography and loves Pokemon, with her favorite being Eevee.
Nyla Rose recently had an intense battle with Riho for the AEW Women’s Championship on the premiere episode of Dynamite, the promotion’s new weekly wrestling program on TNT. While she didn’t win the title, it was one of the more entertaining matches of the evening. You can see Rose, Jungle Boy, and all of All Elite Wrestling’s stars on Wednesday Night Dynamite which airs Wednesdays at 8 PM on TNT.
Destiny 2 Update Out Now As Iron Banner Kicks Off; Full Patch Notes Released
GameSpot may get a commission from retail offers.
The first Iron Banner event of Destiny 2‘s Year 3 has begun, and it coincides with the release of a new update. Today, Bungie released hotfix update 2.6.0.4, which as the name suggests is primarily concerned with fixing lingering issues that have been impacting the game, including crashes during Black Armory forge runs. Here’s what’s in the patch notes, as well as what to do if you get a “Destiny 2 servers are not available error.”
Update 2.6.0.4 went live following a brief period of maintenance. It should download automatically–it’s less than a 100 MB download on Xbox One–but if it doesn’t, you might receive the aforementioned error when logging in. If so, try manually triggering the update or restart your system to ensure it’s installed; if it’s not, you won’t be able to get online to play.
The patch addresses some serious issues. The Black Armory’s Gofannon forge has been bugged since the release of Shadowkeep, causing the game to crash when the Servitor spawns. Because the four forges are now rotated through in a playlist, rather than being available individually, the forges have effectively been unplayable when Gofannon is in the rotation. That should now be fixed.
Season 8 Iron Banner “Iron Will” armor sets
Other fixes include those related to the use of certain characters in player or clan names and fields causing errors, Nightmare Hunts’ Time Trial Master triumph not progressing, and a Powerful reward not dropping from Nightfall: The Ordeal. You can see the full patch notes below.
These fixes will be welcome news for those who have been impacted, but for everyone else, the most notable Destiny 2 news is the arrival of Iron Banner. This is the first instance of it during Shadowkeep/Season of the Undying, and it brings some previously announced changes (as well as bonus Valor). There are just four bounties total to get from Lord Saladin at the Tower, but each one rewards you with Pinnacle gear–high-end drops that are the only way to advance your Power level from 950 to the current cap of 960.
Those bounties each need to be completed before Iron Banner ends with the weekly reset on Tuesday, October 22, but you can also make a progress on a season-long quest. This consists of a few of the objective types we’ve previously seen as bounties. However, one of the quest steps you’ll encounter calls for you to land 10 Super final blows, but the icon shows a grenade launcher. In fact, the goal is to rack up 10 submachine gun final blows.
We’re investigating an issue where the Iron Banner “Scour the Rust” quest step, “Conviction,” says to land 10 Super final blows to earn progress, but also shows a Grenade Launcher icon.
This step is actually progressed by earning 10 final blows with Submachine Guns.

You can see the new Iron Banner armor–known as the Iron Will set–above, but know that the process of obtaining it works different than in the past. Here’s how Bungie outlines things:
- There is a new Seasonal pursuit, which must be completed prior to being able to turn in tokens to purchase packages from Lord Saladin
- This pursuit is character based and rewards the new S8 armor set
- Each step of the pursuit awards Iron Banner weapons or armor
- Most of the objectives within the pursuit track progress at any point during Season of the Undying, even if you have not yet acquired the pursuit
- Until the Seasonal pursuit has been completed, all rewards will be obtained from completing matches and bounties
- All rewards are weapons until the Seasonal pursuit is complete
- The existing seven bounties that offered powerful rewards have been adjusted to offer pinnacle rewards (960 Power max,) but only four are available per event
- We are tracking a bug in which the four bounties offered as pinnacle rewards rotate each day allowing more than four to be completed during a single event
