Rebel has shared the devastating news that she has been diagnosed with terminal ALS following a two-year medical journey to determine what has been affecting her health.
The multi-year wrestling veteran took to social media on Friday to deliver the update in a heartfelt and deeply personal message, thanking her fans, Tony Khan, and AEW while asking for continued prayers.
“Okay, here’s an update and hold on, because there’s a plot twist. First, I want to say thank you for all of your prayers because for those who know, it’s been a two year medical journey trying to find out what is wrong and finally, our prayers have been answered. The thing is, sometimes, we don’t want to hear that answer to our prayers. So, while I was waiting to have lung surgery for the masses on my lungs, the doctors finally found what’s going on. The doctors have diagnosed me with terminal ALS. There is not a lot of research behind ALS and we don’t know how long I have, but it explains why I have trouble walking and talking, all of my functions will soon decline. Now, we can pray for the future and what is to come. I want to say thank you to Tony Khan. Thank you to Tony Khan and AEW for supporting me on this medical journey. It has been a blessing that is unheard of. From the bottom of my heart, thank you and thank you to all of you for your prayers. Please continue to pray for a peaceful journey and a peaceful passing. I love you,” Rebel wrote.
ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a progressive neurological disease that affects nerve cells controlling voluntary muscle movement. There is currently no cure.
WrestlingNews.co sends best wishes to Rebel and her friends and family during this incredibly difficult time.
