AEW holds Rebel Heart tribute episode to support ALS research

Summary

AEW dedicated its September 9, 2026, episode of Dynamite to supporting ALS research and honoring Tanea "Rebel" Brooks and Andy "The Butcher" Williams. The program balanced tributes with regular athletic programming, featuring a performance by Sting's son. While the broadcast received praise for its emotional presentation and the Waiting Room segment with Britt Baker, criticism emerged regarding the promotion's approach to its upcoming pay-per-view event. Despite two weeks remaining until All Out on September 26, the current card remains largely unchanged from previous weeks. Commentators noted that while the show successfully managed its commemorative duties, the company missed opportunities to announce additional marquee matches to build momentum for the upcoming event.
