I love it here in #AEW and can’t wait to see where the next few yrs take me. Thank you all for your constant love and support, and Thank you to @aew! And last but not least, I want to thank my family for their support. They are the true rockstars.” Dustin tweeted.

Dustin Rhodes joined the AEW in 2019

The Natural has had an eminent career in pro wrestling that spans over three decades. In his legendary career, he has worked with multiple promotions including WWE, TNA, and WCW.

The Natural is best known among pro wrestling fans for his work as ‘Goldust’ in the WWE. However, his recent run in the AEW and ROH is noteworthy.

Rhodes made his promotional debut in the Jacksonville-based promotion back in 2019. Ahead of ‘Road to Double or Nothing’ it was announced that Rhodes would compete against his real-life half-brother, Cody Rhodes.

AEW’s Double or Nothing pay-per-view took place back in May 2019 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Natural failed to win the match but his performance was praised by fans and pundits.

Since his debut, Rhodes has also appeared in AEW’s sister promotion ROH (Ring Of Honor) where he is the current ROH World Tag Team Champion alongside Sammy Guevara as well as the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions alongside Marshall and Ross Von Erich.

Although there were speculations among fans of Dustin joining his brother in the Stamford-based promotion, it looks like The Natural is going to conclude his career in the AEW.
