Former AEW wrestler and current ASÉ Wrestling commentator, Aerial "Big Swole" Johnson is being honored at Crohn's and Colitis' A Toast for A Cure gala. Johnson is a new board member for the Tampa Bay chapter.

Johnson says, "I am excited to be the 2026 A Toast For A Cure Honoree for the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation. Although I am overjoyed to say that after 18 years, 10+ surgeries and countless hospital stay I am healed and healthy! However, I feel I have a duty to help patients like me who are suffering from IBD issues. Turning my sights to philanthropy, I am working with the local chapter here in Tampa Bay as one of their newest board members. I am happy to be able to pay it forward within my community and beyond because knowledge is meant to be shared. Everything I've experienced has been to help others and that, for me, makes life worth living. Please join me in making an impact in this critical work."

There is a silent auction and a raffle to raise funds for the organization. TNA is donating the Ultimate TNA Fan Experience, four front row seats, backstage tour, meet-and-greet with talent and signed memorabilia to be raffled off. For the silent auction, TNA has also donated other signed items including merch from The Hardys, the guitar neck from Elijah's guitar, a Slammiversary turnbuckle, and an event used canvas.

You can learn more about Johnson's journey with Crohn's here. The Toast for a Cure gala is Thursday at 5:30 PM ET and the silent auction and raffle end tonight.
