Dustin Rhodes Introduces His Nephews Wayne And Wyatt Rhodes

The Natural introduces the 3rd generation team as the new Texas Outlaws

Dustin Rhodes knows there’s more than one royal family and Bloodline in pro wrestling. “The Natural” has been busy not only in the AEW ring but also running his own wrestling academy for the past several years. Based in Austin, TX, the Rhodes Wrestling Academy has been a training ground for his two nephews, Wyatt and Wayne Rhodes, who have been learning the ropes from their legendary uncle.

Following their recent AEW debuts, a dark match prior to AEW Collision on August 17, Uncle Dustin proudly introduces them Wayne and Wyatt Rhodes as the new Texas Outlaws – a name that honors their grandfather Dusty Rhodes’ legacy.

Cody’s Endorsement

Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes endorsed his nephews potential, expressing confidence they’re capable of following the family’s path.

“Behind the curtain are my nephews, Dalton and Dylan. They’re close with Dustin, and to see them go from playing around, to the point where, now I can see it. It’s one of those things where, once you start, you can’t stop…. They’re not ready to wrestle Jacob Fatu just yet, but they’ll get there.”

Texas Outlaws

The original Texas Outlaws, consisting of Dusty Rhodes and Dick Murdoch, began their journey in 1968 in the Kansas City territory, making their mark in promotions like NWA, AWA, and in Japan. Dusty eventually became a singles star, earning the iconic “American Dream” moniker.

Dustin, leading by example, has been actively involved in tag team wrestling, with the accolades to prove it. He currently holds the ROH Trios Tag Titles with Marshall and Kevin Von Erich, as well as the ROH Tag Team Titles with Sammy Guevara. All four competed in a massive multi-man tag match on the All In Buy-In kickoff show this past weekend in London.
