WWE veteran Dustin Rhodes has now become a double champion alongside a popular AEW star who was making his in-ring return to the promotion. They have also ended a 234-day title reign.

Tonight, The Natural teamed up with Sammy Guevara, who was competing in his first match on the promotion since February this year. He made his return to wrestling last month, appearing in Ring of Honor.

Tonight, the newly formed duo challenged Matt Taven and Mike Bennett of The Undisputed Kingdom for the ROH World Tag Team titles. The champions have held these since late December last year when they ended the short but sweet run of MJF and Adam Cole.

Chaos was prevalent in this match, as several other factions made their presence known throughout the contest. In the end, with all potential interference thrown out of the way, this allowed Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara to hit a combination of finisher to secure their win.

This comes just a few weeks after Rhodes and The Von Erichs won the ROH Six-Man Tag Team titles. Not only is he a double champion currently, but this would be his first run with either title in his career.

Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.

If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.

Other than pro wrestling, Enzo enjoys keeping up with Basketball, Football, and Formula One. He also loves watching films, playing video games, and listening to music.
