AEW Collision on Saturday, May 2, 2026, went down at the Peoria Civic Center in Peoria. The show kept things moving through the night with matches and segments that kept the crowd locked in. In the middle of the show, things shifted for a moment. The company took time to bring up someone from their own circle who is dealing with a serious situation right now.
AEW alumni Rebel shared that she has been diagnosed with ALS after a two-year health struggle. Doctors found the disease while treating her for lung issues, and she made the news public in May 2026.
Rebel is now receiving care and dealing with changes to her mobility and speech. She also took time to thank fans and AEW for the support she has been getting since the news came out.
Tony Schiavone sent his thoughts to Rebel on commentary. The crowd also showed support, with fans holding up signs for her during the show.
They asked fans to Pray For Rebel, and that message was shared in a big way. It was a quick moment, but it landed. AEW made sure to bring it up on air and not let it go unnoticed, and the crowd response showed people are paying attention.
