10 professional wrestlers who would survive on The Walking Dead

7. Nyla Rose – AEW
AEW might be a fairly new organization, but her presence in the women’s division has been making a lot of noise. After winning a Casino Battle Royal to contend for the Women’s Championship, she pushed Riho to the limit but came up a little short of winning the title.
In the process, Rose established herself as being the most intimidating heel in the women’s division. The former WOW Women’s Champion and UPWA Women’s Champion is both physically intimidating and ruthless, making her unpredictable and terrifying.
Rose is also a groundbreaker. When she was signed by AEW, she became the first openly transgender woman to ink a deal with a major American pro wrestling promotion. She has opened the door for more transgender people to attempt a career in wrestling, which is a massive step for the product.
Standing five-foot-seven and weighing 185 pounds, Rose was also a Canadian television star. She was the lead character in the show The Switch, which is close to the her heart because it tells the story of a Native American transgender woman dealing with her transition.
