AEW star Dustin Rhodes recently took to social media to clarify his future plans amidst some fans speculating his next possible destination. This comes following recent reports regarding the status of his contract.
The Natural has been appearing on both AEW, and ROH over the past year, but has been leaning towards the latter lately. He holds both the tag team and six-man tag team titles of the promotion. However, it has been reported that his deal expired sometime in September or October and there has yet to be information on his re-signing. Regardless, he has continued to make appearances for the Tony Khan-led company.
On X (fka Twitter), a user claimed that Dustin Rhodes could be leaving AEW and ROH for WWE as he had removed the names from his profile bio on the platform. The veteran replied and clarified that his profile never had those details mentioned in the first place.
"Never had that in my bio! That's why u are blocked," the veteran wrote.
