As noted before, Sunday’s WWE SummerSlam 2026 post-show featured Kevin Owens giving a shoutout and message of support to AEW talent Rebel, real name Tanea Brooks, for her battle with terminal ALS.
Rebel responded earlier today on Twitter thanking Owens for his support and her being proud of his return to the ring from a neck injury at Sunday’s SummerSlam 2026 Night 2 event.
“🫶🏼❤️ thank you KO. I am proud of your return and you fighting through it to get there. Never Stop giving your everything because you are right, it can be taken away in a second.”
