Dustin Rhodes is the reigning ROH World Tag Team Champion (with Sammy Guevara) and the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champion (with Marshall Von Erich and Ross Von Erich). The Natural has been with All Elite Wrestling since the company's inception and is undoubtedly a living legend.
At the recent AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam 2024 TV Special, AEW World Champion Bryan Danielson locked horns with Nigel McGuinness for the title. This was the latter's first singles match since 2011. Even though the former ROH World Champion displayed minute signs of ring rust, he delivered a stellar performance. This showdown lasted for nearly nineteen minutes, ending with Danielson's triumph by submission.
Soon after the bout, McGuinness took to X (formerly Twitter) to ask fans what they thought of his presentation. Numerous people praised him, including his good friend Dustin Rhodes.
Check out Rhodes' tweet below:
"Chefs kiss brotha!!! Job well done Nigel.🤘🏼" said Rhodes.
Dustin Rhodes got offended by Tommy Dreamer's comments earlier this year
Earlier this year, Tommy Dreamer spoke candidly about Dustin Rhodes's career on the Busted Open podcast. According to him, the former Golddust wouldn't have been wrestling on TV had he been still signed to the WWE. Unsurprisingly, the AEW star didn't take the former ECW Champion's comments too well. Taking to X, he wrote:
"The stuff people say on the internet I am not injured @THETOMMYDREAMER, and why not use me on television? Why not World Heavyweight Champion? My segment ratings are consistent and good. I am doing the best work of my life and loving every bit of it and helping the youngens rise to the top. When you step in the ring with me, you are better at the end. Love ya buddy but come on. This is my livelihood and I am working my a** off. I have earned it. I want it all as I have from the beginning. #PassionLivesInMe" he said.

It remains to be seen if Tony Khan decided to give Rhodes a singles title run.
