AEW personality Rebel (Tanea Brooks) has shared heartbreaking news with fans, announcing on social media that she’s been diagnosed with primary pulmonary lymphoma, a rare form of lung cancer. According to Rebel, what doctors initially believed was a severe case of pneumonia last year turned out to be cancer that had gone undetected.
On top of the diagnosis, Rebel revealed she is also dealing with a neurological condition that has impacted her speech and mobility. She’s preparing to begin rehab soon and is determined to fight both the cancer and the ongoing neurological issues head-on.
Rebel has been absent from AEW programming since early 2023, and while her on-screen presence has been missed, the wrestling community is already rallying behind her. Fans and peers alike have flooded social media with support, encouragement, and well-wishes as she begins her treatment journey.
WrestlingNewsBlog sends Rebel strength and positivity as she takes on this fight.
