The meeting minutes note OSAC Administrator Jim Miller was informed by a local promotion that AEW used Rose in a match on the ROH card. Miller then said he called AEW, telling them violated of OSAC rules. OSAC Chairman Mike Bower also noted that wrestling applications in the state of Oklahoma do not ask if someone has undergone gender reassignment surgery, but that boxing, kickboxing, and MMA applications do.
