Rebel (Tanea Brooks) Set for Induction Into River City Wrestling’s 2026 Honors Class

River City Wrestling has announced that Rebel — real name Tanea Brooks — will be inducted into the 2026 class of RCW Honors. The San Antonio, Texas-based promotion made the announcement official, welcoming Brooks into what figures to be a notable class for the organization.

Rebel is perhaps best known to mainstream wrestling fans for her lengthy run in AEW, where she served as a valet and in-ring performer, frequently appearing alongside Jade Cargill and later working in various on-screen roles. Prior to her national television exposure, she built her reputation on the independent circuit, and a regional honor of this kind reflects the full arc of a career that stretches well beyond the spotlight of the major promotions.

RCW Honors serves as a way for the promotion to recognize individuals who have made meaningful contributions to the wrestling industry, and the addition of Brooks to the 2026 class continues that tradition. Further details surrounding the induction ceremony have not yet been announced.

For Rebel, the recognition adds another chapter to a career that has seen her work across multiple platforms and in front of widely varying audiences. Being honored by a promotion rooted in her home region of Texas gives the induction a personal dimension that goes beyond the accolade itself.
