Former AEW wrestler and current commentator for ASÉ Wrestling, Aerial “Big Swole” Johnson is honored Crohn’s and Colitis’s A Toast for A Cure Gala. Johnson is a new board member for the Tampa Bay chapter.
Johnson says: “I am thrilled to be the 2026 A Toast For A Cure honoree for the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation. Although I am extremely happy to say that after 18 years, 10+ surgeries and countless hospital stays, I am healed and healthy. However, I am committed to helping patients like myself who suffer from IBD. I work with the local chapter as one of their new board members, in my community and beyond, because all I’ve experienced is to help others, and that makes it worthwhile for me to join in this important work.
