As noted before, Rebel, real name Tanea Brooks, was diagnosed with terminal ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) this past May. AEW released a special “Rebel Heart” merchandise with 100% of the profits going to support those affected by ALS. Rebel became an ambassador for the I AM ALS organization this past June. AEW held a special AEW Dynamite Rebel Heart show this past September in Athens, Georgia featured AEW honoring Rebel and helped raised funds for the I AM ALS organization and Team Gleason. Rebel was named as an honorary member of the I AM ALS Board of Directors earlier this month.
Rebel announced earlier today on Instagram that she was inducted into the Owasso High School Hall of Fame on October 9.
“On October 9th, 2026 Owasso High School inducted me into their HOF. Words cannot express the feeling of being recognized by my hometown. I’ll always be that good ole girl from this small town Owasso ❤️ I am so grateful for my friends and family in it 🙌🏼 What a night!!! Good to be home ❤️ 🏡
A special THANK YOU 🙏 to Terri, Heather, and David Chandler at Chandler real estate who made it possible for all of this to happen.”
Rebel was born and raised in Owasso, Oklahoma.
