Dustin Rhodes claps back at the idea of potential retirement match against absent AEW star next year

ROH World Tag Team Champion Dustin Rhodes, formerly known as Goldust, seemingly refused the idea of a retirement match against an absent AEW star. The absent star in question is Powerhouse Hobbs.

Dustin Rhodes has been on the professional wrestling scene since the late 1980s. The 55-year-old legend has wrestled in major promotions like WWE, WCW, and TNA Wrestling in his career and is currently signed with AEW since the promotion's inception back in 2019. Dustin currently holds the ROH World Tag Team Championship with Sammy Guevara and the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship with Marshall Von Erich and Ross Von Erich.

Although The Natural can still perform well in the ring, many fans have been wondering when the 55-year-old veteran might be retiring. An X/Twitter user pitched a creative idea saying Tony Khan should book Powerhouse Hobbs to retire Dustin at the AEW All In Pay-Per-View in Arlington, Texas, next year.

Interestingly, Rhodes noticed the tweet and gave his reaction to it as well. Dustin clapped back at the user, seemingly rejecting the idea by calling the latter "stupid" for suggesting such a proposition.

"You're stupid."

Check out his tweet below:

It remains to be seen what plans Tony Khan has in store for The Natural moving forward.

"I’m not surprised because I can tell he’s not done. He hasn’t really told me what he wants to do next, but I can tell he’s not done," Cody Rhodes said.

Dustin continues to wrestle occasionally in All Elite Wrestling. Only time will tell what the future has in store for the 55-year-old legend.
