For these past five years, Dustin has been an invaluable asset for the company. He not only kicked AEW off with a memorable PPV match against his brother Cody Rhodes at the first Double or Nothing, but Dustin has been a vital part at developing wrestlers backstage. So many women in the company give Rhodes major credit for the contributions Rhodes has made with his insight and training.
Rhodes currently holds two titles in AEW as he\’s the ROH World Tag Team Champions with Sammy Guevara and ROH Trios Tag Team Champions with Ross and Marshall Von Erich.
Rhodes also keeps very busy by being a teacher of the one true sport. For several years, Dustin has been operating the \”Rhodes Wrestling Academy\” and just announced his new wrestling promotion with his Rhodes Wrestling Association. The promotion\’s first show will take place on November 21 in Leander, TX.
