Tony Khan Hopes To Work With ALS Foundation On Fight For the Fallen, Talks How To Support Rebel

Tony Khan is looking to put AEW in a position to help with ALS amid Rebel’s fight with the condition, and hopes to do a Fight for the Fallen to support the cause. As reported at the start of the month, Rebel revealed that she is dealing with terminal ALS. The AEW star has been off the road since Britt Baker early 2023.

Speaking at the AEW Double Or Nothing post-show media scrum, Khan was asked about Rebel and how fans can support her. He gave best wishes to Rebel and said that AEW is releasing #RebelStrong bracelets to support her, and added that Steve Gleason of Team Gleason has reached out. He noted that he is hoping to work with Team Gleason and ALS Foundation for a Fight for the Fallen to support ALS research. You can see highlights below:

On Rebel’s Health Issues:

“Yes, thank you for asking. First of all, I wanna send best wishes to Rebel. Rebel’s been with us since the beginning. She’s not here on the road with us now, but Rebel’s still always gonna be a big part of AEW and we’re thinking about her. I really appreciate you asking about it, and we’re keeping Rebel in our thoughts.”

On Being In Touch With ALS Foundation:

“There are things you can do to support her. I just got it today, I have not had a chance to reply because I’ve been at the show but I’m going to reply to him. I just heard from Steve Gleason, Steve Gleason reached out on behalf of the ALS Foundation and his own foundation. And I do think there’s gonna be great chances to collaborate and do something. And with this, we’ll have these bracelets thinking about Rebel.”

On His Hopes For Fight For the Fallen:

“I’m thinking that it would be great to work with Steve Gleason and the ALS Foundation to put together Fight for the Fallen, and have Fight for the Fallen to benefit ALS and people dealing with ALS and the treatment. And I think that would be something we could all do that would be a positive way to support. And in the meantime yes, there are ways the fans can support it, which is giving to ALS research and supporting the charity now, you don’t have to wait for Fight for the Fallen. And that’ll be a great opportunity also for people to give to support ALS research and treatment. Thank you.”
