AEW’s Rebel (Tanea Brooks) Reveals Terminal ALS Diagnosis
AEW performer Rebel (Tanea Brooks) announced on May 1, 2026 that she has been diagnosed with terminal ALS after a two-year medical search. In a social media video, Brooks said doctors at the Mayo Clinic made the diagnosis while she was awaiting lung surgery; she explained the condition accounts for recent trouble walking and talking and asked fans for prayers for a peaceful journey and passing, also thanking Tony Khan and AEW for their support.
Brooks’ health struggles date to May 2024 when she was hospitalized for a lung mass initially treated as pneumonia; she underwent surgery to remove a tumor in June 2025 and was later diagnosed with primary pulmonary lymphoma in November 2025, entering an inpatient rehabilitation program in February. ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, and Brooks said while there is little research on the disease, the diagnosis at least allows her and her family to prepare for the future.

Bear Bronson: AEW Made Me Feel Like a “Signed Extra,” Says He’s Found a Home in TNA
Bear Bronson told Busted Open After Dark he felt like a “signed extra” during his nearly five years with AEW, saying his presence there didn’t always feel impactful. By contrast, Bronson praised TNA for immediately welcoming him and allowing him to feel like an important part of the roster’s future, noting the shared journey he has with The Righteous since joining the company.
Bronson officially signed with TNA in January after appearing on the indies following the expiration of his AEW contract; he had not competed for AEW since late 2024. Emphasizing the difference in environments, Bronson said he feels “exactly where I need to be” with TNA as he looks to give his all to help push the promotion forward.
