Rebel had been using crutches in storyline recently, feigning injury, but now it appears she will require them legitimately following Wednesday night’s Dynamite. The former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader teamed with Dr. Britt Baker wrestling Nyla Rose and Vickie Guerrero and would hurt herself when breaking up a pin attempt. Clearly, in discomfort, she would slowly drag herself out of the way so the match could finish, and then off-camera was helped to the back to be medically evaluated.
It’s now been confirmed by Bryan Alvarez of F4Wonline.com on Twitter that she was legitimately hurt as suspected and suffered a dislocated kneecap. It’s known as a painful injury, but thankfully surgery isn’t usually required, and the usual recovery time is around six weeks, although a course of physiotherapy will likely be necessary before she can return to the ring.
AEW initially recruited Rebel for a backstage hair and makeup role but would end up being used on screen. This was only the fifth match she had participated in for the company. However, she does have several years of experience, having begun wrestling for OVW in 2014 before debuting for TNA as part of the Menagerie faction alongside Mike Knox, Crazzy Steve, and Rob Terry. In 2019 she’d wrestle on NXT teaming with Amber Nova in a tag team loss to Kairi Sane and Io Shirai, but it didn’t result in a contract offer from WWE.
