Dustin Rhodes is setting new career milestones with AEW.
The recent leadership at WWE has increased efforts to honor wrestling legends. With his brother, Cody Rhodes, becoming a top star there, many speculated whether Dustin would encourage Cody to leave AEW and return to WWE.
However, a report from the Dallas Morning News clarifies that this is not happening, and seasoned wrestlers like Dustin will continue their long-term involvement with Tony Khan’s promotion.
The article, which explores the storied Rhodes family ahead of the upcoming ROH Super Card of Honor event, reveals that Dustin Rhodes, formerly known as Goldust, recently inked a new contract with AEW.
Signed during the winter, this agreement sees Dustin serving as a consultant, coach, and ambassador for AEW, while still occasionally stepping into the ring.
Since starting his wrestling career in 1988, Dustin has worked with all the major promotions but never stayed longer than six years with one. This new six-year deal marks the longest continuous stretch of his career, keeping him with AEW until at least 2030. At 56 years old, this will also celebrate his 50th year as an active wrestler.
Fan Take: This commitment from Dustin Rhodes is a huge win for AEW, ensuring that fans will continue to see a beloved, experienced performer both in and out of the ring. It also signifies AEW’s dedication to blending wrestling tradition with a visionary future, which can only elevate the sport.
