AEW Rebel Heart Dynamite honors Andy Williams and spotlights Rebel's ALS cause

entertainmentSep 9, 202655711

All Elite Wrestling will present AEW Rebel Heart Dynamite on Wednesday, September 9 live from Akins Ford Arena in Athens, Georgia, airing on TBS and streaming on HBO Max, to honor Tanea Brooks, known as Rebel, who was diagnosed with ALS in March 2026. Rebel is scheduled to make a special appearance that evening and fans in attendance will receive a limited-edition Rebel trading card sheet from Upper Deck while supplies last. AEW said a donation from the event will benefit I AM ALS and Team Gleason and noted the show takes place in the home community of the University of Georgia Regenerative Bioscience Center, which works on ALS research and training. AEW CEO, GM and Head of Creative Tony Khan said the company is proud to honor Rebel while raising awareness and donations for the two organizations. Tickets go on sale Friday, July 31 at 10 AM ET via AEWTix.com, and official Rebel Heart shirts and bracelets are available now with 100 percent of profits going to I AM ALS and Team Gleason. Additional event details will be announced in the near future and AEW directs donations and information to AEWTogether.org/RebelHeart.

Because wrestling is predetermined (not using the F word) but wrestlers are real. And, in a job where the aim is to make you care, sometimes you're surprised to find out just how successful they've been. Hell, sometimes they are as well.

This is the second most emotional Dynamite. Show people this and the Brodie Lee tribute, and they may get why we are SICKOs.

Seeing both Jeff Cannonball and Rebel going through ALS definitely has shown me how serious it is and how important this episode of #AEWDynamite is. www.aewtogether.org/rebelheart
