Professional wrestling career

Rose became the first openly transgender wrestler to sign with a major American professional wrestling promotion when she signed with All Elite Wrestling in February 2019. Rose made her AEW debut at the promotion's inaugural event, Double or Nothing. Her scheduled triple threat match against Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. and Kylie Rae was turned into a fatal four-way match with the surprise addition of Awesome Kong. Rose was not involved in the decision, after spearing Kong into the ring steps shortly before Baker pinned Rae.
At Fyter Fest, she was involved in a triple threat match with Riho and Yuka Sakazaki; after the match, Rose attacked both women, establishing herself as a heel in the process. Rose took part in the AEW Women's Casino Battle Royal at All Out, which she went on to win, earning the opportunity to compete to become the inaugural AEW Women's World Champion. On the premiere of Dynamite on October 2, 2019, Rose was defeated by Riho for the title, and attacked Riho after the match ended. On February 12, 2020, Rose defeated Riho to win the AEW Women's World Championship on Dynamite, becoming the first transgender woman to win a world championship in a major United States wrestling promotion. She successfully defended the title against Kris Statlander at Revolution on February 29, 2020. On May 23 at Double or Nothing, Rose lost the title to Hikaru Shida. On July 15, 2020, Rose was paired with Vickie Guerrero as her manager.
