AEW’s Rebel Reveals Lung Cancer Diagnosis, Shares Health Battle With Fans

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.
