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.

Another fan replied to his post and asked whether he missed his Goldust persona from WWE. He confirmed that he indeed missed his former gimmick.

"Yes of course," he responded.

Dustin Rhodes is reportedly planned for some shows next month

As of this writing, there has been no new information regarding negotiations on Rhodes' contract with the Tony Khan-led company, but he has continued to make appearances for them.

Yesterday on ROH, he made an appearance as he and his tag team partner Sammy Guevara confronted The Righteous who have been constantly hinting at going after their ROH World Tag Team Championship.

According to Fightful Select, Dustin Rhodes is said to be booked for AEW and ROH's series of shows that will take place at the iconic Hammerstein Ballroom next month. It was unclear whether this would be on Dynamite, Collision, or ROH's weekly show. However, despite this, there has yet to be any information on contract negotiations.

"I heard he’s supposed to be at the Hammerstein shows, but I haven’t heard of a contract update as of yet," stated the report. [H/T: Ringside News]

Dustin Rhodes remains a major figure for AEW and someone who has greatly impacted its history. With him also becoming an important part of the ROH roster, it increases the likeliness of him re-signing with them.
