Rebel (Tanea Brooks) Announces Terminal ALS Diagnosis

Doctors at the Mayo Clinic identified the disease as she awaited lung surgery.

Overview

  • Rebel, who posted a video Friday, said Mayo Clinic doctors diagnosed her with terminal amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
  • She told fans she does not know how much time she has left and asked for prayers for a peaceful passing.
  • ALS is a progressive, incurable disease that kills motor neurons, which aligns with her worsening trouble walking and speaking.
  • The finding came during a two-year search that included a lung cancer diagnosis and an earlier label of a functional neurological disorder.
  • She thanked Tony Khan and AEW for their support, and peers and fans began posting messages of support after her announcement.
