Rebel gets a new nickname while helping heel Britt Baker win her AEW return match

Cageside Seats • AEW

Prior to tonight’s (Sept. 9) special Rebel Heart episode of Dynamite, Dr. Britt Baker DMD had not wrestled a match since November 2024. That changed when she returned to the ring tonight for a trios match with Hikaru Shida and TBS Champion Persephone against Thunder Rosa, Hyan, and Maya World. Rebel (not Reba) returned to AEW earlier in the show, where she reprised her role as Baker’s comedy sidekick. Even though Rebel was diagnosed with terminal ALS earlier this year, she remained true to her heel form by rolling down to the ring during Baker’s match to assist her on the Lockjaw finish. She even had the phrase “Roll Model” written in big letters on the back of her chair, playing off Baker’s “Role Model” nickname. Here is the Roll Model doing her thing to help Baker win her first AEW match in nearly two years: The "Roll Model" @RebelTanea is here with @RealBrittBaker's glove!
