On Wednesday night, AEW dedicated a special Rebel Heart episode of Dynamite to the former AEW star and her fight against ALS following her diagnosis in early 2026.
The show also continued building toward All Out on Sept. 26. With Will Ospreay vs. Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship set, would viewers learn why both men looked so surprised when AEW announced the match to close last week’s show?
Swerve Strickland, Austin Creed and Kofi also defended the AEW World Trios Championship against The Conglomeration’s Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong and Kyle O’Reilly. Would they make their second successful title defense?
That and more went down on this special episode of Dynamite:
