As noted before, Rebel, real name Tanea Brooks, was diagnosed with terminal ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) this past May. AEW has 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 will be holding a special themed “Rebel Heart” episode of AEW Dynamite on September 9 in Athens, Georgia in honor of Rebel.
In recent weeks, several AEW talents and personalities have been participating and challenging their co-workers to participate in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge in support of Rebel.

Shawn Dean, Britt Baker, Renee Paquette, Kris Statlander, Thunder Rosa, Sting, Red Velvet, The Conglomeration, AEW CEO Tony Khan, Harley Cameron, Mick Foley, Anna Jay, Jungle Jack Perry, Luchasaurus, and Tony Schiavone.
