PWMania.com previously reported that AEW star Rebel has been diagnosed with terminal ALS. She shared this unfortunate news on May 1st, which resulted in an outpouring of support from the wrestling community.
Since that announcement, All Elite Wrestling has continued to publicly support Rebel. Her situation has been referenced on AEW programming, and president Tony Khan addressed her during the post-show media scrum following Double or Nothing. AEW has also launched a new line of merchandise to support Rebel in light of her ALS diagnosis, with proceeds benefiting others affected by the same condition.
The promotion announced the release of its “Rebel Heart” collection on ShopAEW, with all proceeds from the merchandise earmarked for organizations that support those affected by ALS. According to AEW, the collection currently includes a T-shirt and a bracelet, and 100 percent of the profits will be donated to the ALS Association and Team Gleason.

Fans who wish to contribute to the cause can do so by purchasing items from this merchandise line, with proceeds directed toward the ALS Association and Team Gleason.
