AEW holds Rebel Heart Dynamite to honor Tanea Brooks and ALS awareness

All Elite Wrestling (AEW) held a special ‘Rebel Heart’ edition of Dynamite in Athens, Georgia, dedicated to honoring Tanea Brooks, known as Rebel, and raising awareness for her battle with terminal ALS. The event featured an emotional appearance by Rebel, who joined Britt Baker for the return of ‘The Waiting Room’ segment and later appeared at ringside in a wheelchair to assist Baker during a six-woman tag team match involving Persephone and Hikaru Shida.

Wrestling action included Swerve Strickland and The New Level successfully defending the AEW World Trios Championship against The Conglomeration. In a World Championship Eliminator Match, Will Ospreay defeated David Finlay to advance his standing toward a title match against Jon Moxley. Additionally, Steven Borden made his televised debut alongside Darby Allin, securing a victory over the Don Callis Family. The broadcast also served as a platform for ALS advocacy, with Tony Khan announcing financial contributions to ALS research organizations.
