The former champion in question is none other than Dustin Rhodes. At 54 years of age, Dustin has been around the world over the course of his pro-wrestling career. Apart from wrestling in WWE, he has also been a part of TNA and WCW. However, a major part of him being recognizable is arguably his time as Goldust in the Stamford-based promotion.
Joining the All Elite scene, his first match was against his brother Cody Rhodes at the inaugural Double or Nothing pay-per-view in 2019. The bout was hailed an instant classic, even receiving a 5-star rating from Dave Meltzer. However, Dustin's match frequency has decreased over the years, with him talking about his retirement in the near future.

A recent report from Fightful Select, however, has claimed that his AEW contract is not due to expire anytime soon. A further modification to the report also stated that he had signed a contract extension, which was apparently confirmed by Dustin Rhodes himself.
Given the circumstances, it seems that The Natural has no plans to return to WWE anytime soon. It remains to be seen what is next for him in AEW.

A fan of pro wrestling since childhood, Shubhajit decided to start creating content on the sport out of passion. Before covering a piece of news or rumor, he conducts thorough research, ensuring information in his work is reliable and completely accurate.
Although Shubhajit admires numerous pro wrestlers, his current favorite is WWE superstar Drew McIntyre. He is fond of The Scottish Warrior’s character work and innovative quips.
If there is one storyline he can work on in WWE, Shubhajit would book Roman Reigns’ future with The Bloodline following WrestleMania XL, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former. After Reigns’ exit from the faction, Shubhajit would portray him as an anti-hero trying hard to claw his way back up to the top.
Apart from reporting on pro wrestling, Shubhajit enjoys competitive gaming and reading.
