The classic Waiting Room will be back on AEW Dynamite on September 9, 2026.
For AEW fans since Day One, you surely still remember the famous talk show hosted by Britt Baker and Rebel that welcomed guests. As the name suggests, the concept was to receive wrestlers in Britt Baker’s dental clinic waiting room with co-host Rebel.
This weekend, AEW confirmed that the Waiting Room with Britt Baker and Rebel will return to Dynamite on September 9 for this special ”Rebel Heart” show. The two will host Persephone and Hikaru Shida as guests.
As a reminder, the objective behind the September 9 Dynamite is to support Rebel who is battling ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). A serious and progressive neurodegenerative disease that destroys the neurons responsible for movement and bodily function. AEW also aims to raise funds for research.
&13;
This will be precisely the moment for AEW to pay tribute to Rebel for a final time.
