Britt Baker Joins ALS Ice Bucket Challenge For Rebel

Britt Baker has joined the latest wave of wrestlers taking on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, lending her support to Rebel following the wrestler’s ALS diagnosis, which was revealed back in May.

The trend picked up steam earlier this month when Shawn Dean posted a video of himself dumping a bucket of ice water over his head in Rebel’s honor. Dean used the moment to call out fellow talent, nominating Baker, Carlie Bravo, and The Gunns to carry the challenge forward. Baker has now answered that call, adding her name to a growing list of wrestlers using their platforms to raise awareness for ALS and show solidarity with Rebel during a difficult time.

The Ice Bucket Challenge first became a viral phenomenon over a decade ago as a way to raise money and awareness for ALS research, and it has resurfaced periodically since, often making the rounds through individual communities and industries. Its return within pro wrestling circles now centers specifically on supporting Rebel, giving the challenge added personal weight for those participating.

Baker, one of AEW’s most recognizable stars and a former AEW Women’s World Champion, has a substantial social media following, and her involvement figures to help extend the challenge’s reach even further. As is customary with the format, participants typically nominate others to continue the chain, meaning more wrestlers could be expected to take part in the coming days.

Rebel, who competes as part of Kip Sabian’s AEW faction, disclosed her ALS diagnosis in May, a revelation that drew an outpouring of support from fans and peers across the wrestling industry. The continued participation in the Ice Bucket Challenge serves as an ongoing show of that support, keeping attention on her situation while also encouraging donations and awareness for ALS research more broadly.

Expect more names to surface in the days ahead as the challenge continues to spread through AEW’s locker room and beyond.
