Tanea Brooks, known to wrestling fans as Rebel, has announced that she is joining the I AM ALS movement as an ambassador after being diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.
Brooks shared that her decision to join the organization comes from a desire to help drive meaningful change and support efforts aimed at finding a cure.
“With I AM ALS, we are going to pass a law called ACT for ALS, and get closer for a cure, but we need your help.”
She continued by emphasizing her commitment to the cause despite the severity of the diagnosis.
“ALS may be a terminal diagnosis, but I’m showing up to fight as an Ambassador for I AM ALS. This patient-led movement is stepping into the ring every day to drive real progress and passing laws like the ACT for ALS for research and treatments. I’m proud to join I AM ALS and I’m asking you to step into the ring with us. Please take action.”
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, gradually impacting muscle control. Brooks’ announcement brings further attention to the ongoing need for research, treatment advancements, and patient support.
Her involvement with I AM ALS highlights the organization’s continued push for legislative action, including the ACT for ALS, which aims to accelerate access to treatments and expand research efforts.
Brooks has been a familiar face to wrestling audiences through her work in AEW, and her decision to step into an advocacy role marks a significant personal and public moment.
We extend our best wishes to Brooks as she continues her fight and works to raise awareness for ALS.
I am Tanea Brooks. I am Rebel. Now, I AM ALS.
ALS may be terminal, but I’m showing up to fight as an Ambassador for I AM ALS, a patient-led movement pushing for real progress. I’m proud to join I AM ALS & I’m asking you to step into the ring with us → https://t.co/RVHbWz6I52 pic.twitter.com/v6ELnHHo8m

Bron Breakker sparked concern following his match against Seth Rollins on WWE RAW this past Monday, but an early update suggests the situation may not be serious.
According to a report from False Finish, Breakker is dealing with minor physical wear rather than a significant injury.
The report states that he was “banged up” after the match but is not expected to miss any in-ring time moving forward. This update comes after a video circulated online showing Breakker limping following RAW, which led to speculation about a possible injury setback.
At this stage, the situation remains unconfirmed, and the report should be treated as a rumor until further verification is available.
The timing of the concern is notable, as Breakker only recently returned from hernia surgery. Another injury so soon after his comeback would be a major setback, especially as WWE continues positioning him for a stronger push up the card.
Breakker has been featured more prominently in recent weeks, and any extended absence could impact those plans. However, if the current report is accurate, he is expected to continue competing without interruption.
While False Finish has previously reported legitimate news during their time with BodySlam, this particular update has not yet been independently confirmed. For now, it remains a developing situation.
We will continue to monitor for further updates regarding Breakker’s condition.

Bron Breakker Reportedly “Banged Up” After WWE RAW Match, No Time Off Expected
Bronson Reed has revealed that he was involved in a car accident, sharing the update directly with fans on social media.
Reed posted on his Instagram Story that he was part of a rear-end collision but confirmed that everyone involved was safe.
“Just had a rear collision. Thankfully, everyone is okay. But people stop driving on your damn phones, pay attention. People have kids in their cars.”
The incident comes while Reed is already sidelined from WWE programming due to injury. He has been out of action since February after suffering a torn biceps during an Elimination Chamber qualifying match on WWE RAW.
At this time, there is no indication that the car accident worsened his existing injury, and early signs suggest it did not aggravate the condition.
Reed’s absence has impacted WWE’s plans for The Vision faction. With Logan Paul also currently out due to injury, the group has been reduced to Bron Breakker, Austin Theory, and Paul Heyman on television and in-ring.
WWE has yet to provide an official timetable for Reed’s return as he continues his recovery.
Imagine rear-ending someone and Bronson Reed walks out of the other car.
WWE President Nick Khan has confirmed that WrestleMania will be held in Saudi Arabia for the first time, while also making it clear that the company does not adjust its business or creative decisions based on social media backlash.
Speaking at the Sports Business Journal event during the CAA World Congress of Sports in Los Angeles on April 15, Khan outlined WWE’s international strategy and future direction.
On the topic of WrestleMania going overseas, Khan stated that the move is already planned.
“We’re doing WrestleMania next year in Saudi, first time ever WrestleMania will be outside of the United States or Canada, and we’ve had a big fruitful partnership with them.”
Khan emphasized that WWE’s global expansion has played a major role in revenue growth over the past several years.
“We realized years ago we can’t simply pipe out American content internationally. You got to be boots on the ground, and if you look at our revenue from international now, it’s substantially greater than it was five and a half years ago.”
He also addressed criticism from fans online, making it clear that WWE does not use social media feedback to guide decisions.
“I’ve never read X or Twitter as it relates to our business. That is a vocal minority. We don’t adjust our business based on complaint, we adjust our business based on ratings, revenue, and relevancy.”
Khan doubled down on that stance later in the discussion.
“We will never respond to social media criticism. Again, if ratings are down, if revenue is down, if relevancy is down, it’s up to us.”
Khan also pushed back on the narrative that WWE changed plans involving The Rock and Cody Rhodes leading into WrestleMania in Philadelphia.
“The plan was always how it ended up in Philly two years ago. Sometimes it’s a predetermined outcome in wrestling. You want to throw the fans off, you want to let things bake, and then boom, it ends up the way we wanted it to end up. It never changed. That was just online rumors and gossip that we were changing.”
Another key focus of Khan’s comments was WWE’s effort to build its next generation of stars. He revealed that he held a strategy meeting over a year ago with Triple H, WWE head of communications Chris LeGentile, and Shawn Michaels to accelerate talent development.
“We said, hey, look, we have John Cena on his retirement tour, Rock came back, our other big stars, CM Punk is 46, we have a number of men who are 40 or older performing at a high level. We got to accelerate the next generation of talent.”
Michaels’ solution focused on live experience for younger wrestlers.
“We need to take them on the road so they get the crowd response of a live crowd. If you’re getting cheered, great. If you’re getting booed, great. If there’s no response, terrible. You need that live crowd to figure that out.”
Khan pointed to Oba Femi as an example of that strategy working, referencing his high-profile WrestleMania match against Brock Lesnar.
“That match was probably the most talked-about match on Sunday, and that guy’s only been on main roster for six months.”
Khan also shared a personal story about attending WrestleMania IX at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas while working as an usher during his college years.
“I was a terrible usher. Someone would come up with a hard copy ticket and it would say Section C, Row L, and I’d be like, ‘It’s right this way, here’s your seat,’ and they’d be like, ‘This isn’t Section C.’ So I’d just walk away.”
Khan’s comments offer a clear look at WWE’s current priorities, from global expansion to talent development, while reinforcing the company’s stance on ignoring online criticism.
Nick Khan Addresses Fan Criticism and Creative Direction
Logan Paul has a new perspective on triceps injuries after suffering one himself, and it has even prompted him to admit he misjudged CM Punk when the former WWE Champion went through a similar ordeal.
Speaking on the June 3 edition of the IMPAULSIVE podcast, Paul reflected on the serious injury he recently sustained and revealed that he now understands why Punk was sidelined for so long following his own torn triceps.
“When CM Punk tore his tricep I just thought he was a major pssy,” Paul said. “I cut a promo about it. I’m like, you tore your little tricep. I remember thinking the dude tore his tricep, how was he out for six months? How bad could it be? It’s a fcking tricep. It’s horrible.”
Paul explained that he completely tore his triceps tendon from the bone during a recent episode of WWE Raw. The injury was made worse by the fact that part of the bone came away with the tendon. At the time of the interview, he was less than a week removed from surgery.
According to Paul, the injury happened during a tag team match when a high impact collision put tremendous strain on his arm.
“A nearly 300-pound Dawkins comes flying over the ropes. He lands on me. My arm is flexed and trying to catch him landing on the ground, and too much weight, too much tension. I could feel the tendon snap off the elbow. It came from the bottom of the tricep. It detached here and in the shoulder. I’ve been injured so many times, I knew immediately.”
Despite the severity of the injury, Paul continued competing and informed Austin Theory what had happened while the match was still taking place.
“I said, ‘I tore my tricep.’ And he looks at me, we’re still working, and he looks at me, he’s like, ‘Are you f*cking serious?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah.’”
The situation nearly became even more uncomfortable after the match when Bron Breakker attempted to raise Paul’s arm in celebration.
“I go, ‘I hurt my arm, I hurt my arm, I hurt my arm.’ And he takes a second. I’m like, ‘Please careful, careful.’ And then he slowly raises it up and it was fine, but in that moment I was like, ‘Bro, my partner’s about to rip my fcking arm.’ It was the last move that I was a part of in the match. The last fcking thing. I hit this move right, I’m going home.”
Beyond the physical damage, Paul admitted the recovery period has taken a mental toll on him. Known for his confidence and energetic personality, he acknowledged that being forced to step away has been difficult to process.
“I’m gonna be honest with you guys, that and many other little things about this injury has put me in a pretty mentally stuck spot. It’s depressing, bro. I just don’t know how else to say it. And I’m not the depression guy. You guys know I’m pretty gung-ho and happy about life. Every day is a little better, but I’m struggling. I’ll be honest with you.”
Paul also expressed frustration over seeing his momentum alongside Austin Theory come to an abrupt stop just as he felt they were beginning to find their stride as a team.
“I felt like me and Austin had so much momentum and we were about to go on a generational tag team run. I’m in the best shape of my life ever. My whole business is firing on all cylinders. Everything is just firing. And then I’m just thrown this curveball during the last move of this match, and now the next six months of my life look drastically different, and I cannot see the silver lining yet.”
While disappointed by the setback, Paul said he has allowed himself a brief period to deal with the frustration before turning his full attention toward recovery.
“I need 7 to 14 days to be a sad, miserable complainer, and then I’m going to get on my horse and kick this recovery. We’re on day six out of surgery.”
Thankfully, his outlook is already starting to improve as he focuses on the positives and looks ahead to the future.
“When people ask me how I’m doing, at least now my response is, ‘I’m okay. I’m alive. Let’s start there.’ Basically the rest of my body’s healthy. I’m good. All things considered, God willing, it’s going to be okay.”
As for his WWE future, Paul remains convinced that his eventual comeback will be worth the wait.
“I know my return to the WWE will be glorious, like actually glorious. And I’m going to come back bigger and stronger than ever before and hopefully go on that generational run and become the superstar that I know I can be.”
