Tonight’s (Sept. 9) Rebel Heart episode of Dynamite featured Rebel’s emotional return to AEW programming, after she was diagnosed with terminal ALS earlier this year.
They got right into it with Dr. Britt Baker’s “The Waiting Room” talk show segment, which hyped up a trios match for later in the night pitting heels Baker, Hikaru Shida, and TBS Champion Persephone against babyfaces Thunder Rosa, Hyan, and Maya World.
Baker embraced Rebel and praised her inspiring fight against ALS, while also bringing
back their “not Reba” bit from years ago. Rebel delivered her brand of comedy on the mic and with her facial expressions, and also had the final line about Baker’s glove.
Check out Rebel’s AEW return in “The Waiting Room” for yourself.
AEW commentators assured fans that Rebel’s night isn’t over, so it sounds like she will play a role in Baker’s trios match later.
