Amid her battle with ALS, Rebel (Tanea Brooks) got to spend time with a couple of visitors on Friday.<\/p>\n

New AEW signee Mick Foley shared a photo to social media saying he was having the \u201cbest\u201d time spending the day with Rebel and Britt Baker. All three were wearing the \u201cRebel Heart\u201d bracelets that AEW recently released to raise money for ALS support organizations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cREBEL HEART!,\u201d Foley wrote. \u201cHaving the BEST day, visiting with @rebeltanea & @realbrittbaker \u2013 who are FORCING me to watch [Love Island]\u2026.which I\u2019m kind of addicted to now!\u201d<\/p>\n

Rebel announced this week that she has joined the group I Am ALS as an ambassador. It\u2019s a patient-led organization that is looking to accelerate a cure for the fatal disease by \u201cmobilizing collective power to drive urgent policy and systems change.\u201d<\/p>\n

The profits raised from AEW\u2019s \u201cRebel Heart\u201d bracelet and T-shirt sales will be donated to I Am ALS and Team Gleason, another charity that helps support those suffering from the progressive neurodegenerative disease.<\/p>\n

The 47-year-old Rebel announced her ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) diagnosis last month after going through a long period where she was having serious health problems but doctors could not fully figure out what was wrong. She is best known to AEW fans through the partnership she once had with Baker on screen.<\/p>\n

Baker has been off AEW television since late 2024 with no official explanation. Tony Khan has left the door open for her to return<\/a> when asked about her status in media interviews, but there have not been any developments despite his comments.<\/p>\n

The legendary Foley debuted for AEW as a broadcaster at Double or Nothing 2026 and could end up getting into the ring<\/a> eventually for one final match.<\/p>\n
