Nyla Rose is one of AEW’s biggest stars in its women’s division. She’s a former World Champion, winning the belt from Joshi Riho and losing it to the kendo stick-wielding Hikaru Shida. Rose has since taken on Vickie Guerero as manager and has struggled to stay in the championship picture. Regardless, “Native Beast” Nyla Rose is a key wrestler in AEW’s short history and is important to include in AEW’s first video game.

The roster addition was confirmed on Wednesday during an AEW Arcade livestream and was paired with a short gameplay clip featuring Nyla. The clip shows Nyla performing some of her favorite moves, including a running clothesline into the corner and a diving knee while her opponent is hanging from the ropes. Oddly enough, the clip didn’t feature Nyla’s finisher, the Beast Bomb. Perhaps AEW is saving it so that it can showcase finishers in a more exciting capacity later.
While in-ring action featuring Nyla was surprisingly short, the trailer also confirmed a couple of other details about her addition to the roster. First, her theme song, also named “Beast Bomb,” is part of the game. Her standard entrance and pyrotechnics were also showcased. The outfit that Nyla is wearing is also the one she wore during her AEW Women’s Championship run, featuring gold with black trim. It’s the same outfit used with her AEW figure, for those curious.
The last interesting detail from the new AEW Fight Forever trailer was that Nyla’s opponent is the second AEW roster confirmation of the day, Kris Statlander. Kris received her own trailer since in Nyla’s she’s mostly getting her butt kicked.
Nyla Rose and Kris Statlander are the third and fourth women to be confirmed for AEW Fight Forever, but only the second and third to have gameplay shown. Hikaru Shida was the first woman to be showcased. Thunder Rosa has been confirmed since but hasn’t had gameplay shown yet. The overall AEW Fight Forever roster is rumored to feature 50 wrestlers, including both men and women.
AEW Fight Forever is in development for PC and console.
