Young Bucks donate live stream proceeds to Rebel’s ALS fundraiser
The Young Bucks showed support for their AEW colleague Rebel on Wednesday by donating $3,000 to her ALS fundraiser.
Amid her battle with ALS, Rebel (Tanea Brooks) announced this week that she has joined the organization I Am ALS as an ambassador. AEW has also launched a “Rebel Heart” fundraiser, releasing T-shirts and bracelets where all of the proceeds will be donated to I Am ALS and the Team Gleason ALS charity.
Matt & Nick Jackson did a YouTube live stream last night and decided to redirect the donations they received to a good cause. Fans in the chat suggested they support Rebel’s I Am ALS efforts, which The Young Bucks thought was a great idea. Near the end of the 47-minute broadcast, they said they had just reached the $3,000 mark.
“This is really cool. This turned into a really positive thing, a good cause. If you have donated, thank you so much. Thank you so much. We just hit $3k with that,” Matt Jackson said.
“Thank you for everything, y’all. We love you all. And, again, 100 percent of this is going to you, Rebel. We love you, we’re thinking about you, and we’re praying for you.”
Rebel has gone through a terrible health ordeal where, after a long period where doctors could not figure out exactly what was wrong, she’s been diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). It’s a progressive neurodegenerative disease that is fatal and currently has no cure.
At the post-show press conference for Double or Nothing 2026, Tony Khan mentioned the possibility of having AEW’s next Fight for the Fallen be a charity show to help support ALS research and those affected by the disease.
