The WWE Universe may soon see Randy Orton turning heel and betraying Cody Rhodes. If this happens, WWE legend Dustin Rhodes can return to the sports entertainment juggernaut to reunite with his brother.
The Viper returned from an 18-month hiatus at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames in 2023 as a babyface. But in the past several weeks, he has dropped hints of a heel turn. He is seemingly eyeing the Undisputed WWE Championship that currently rests on Cody Rhodes' shoulders.
With Cody Rhodes becoming the first-ever Crown Jewel Champion this past Saturday, Orton could get jealous and turn his back on The American Nightmare. He could even join Kevin Owens, who turned heel after WWE Bad Blood on October 5, 2024. This could motivate Dustin to return to the Stamford-based promotion and help his brother fight off the heels.
The Natural is technically a free agent now. His contract expired either at the end of September or early October. Dustin has been missing from promotion since. He and AEW are reportedly in the middle of negotiations, but a deal has not been finalized yet. Hence, there is a good chance of the former Goldust returning to his old stomping ground.
Dustin is currently one-half of the ROH World Tag Team Champions alongside Sammy Guevara and one-third of the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions alongside Marshall and Ross Von Erich. The veteran could drop his titles if he decides to return to WWE to join Cody.
Cody Rhodes' brother Dustin Rhodes recently promoted his wrestling school
Dustin Rhodes has been in the pro wrestling business since 1988. He made his debut in September of that year. Even at the age of 55, he is still in great shape, consistently delivering stellar matches.
While being an active in-ring competitor, The Natural is focused on mentoring up-and-coming talents. He has seemingly been helping out AEW's women's division. Dustin also has a wrestling academy, which he recently promoted on social media.
