8 WWE Superstars who were released in 2019

#4 Dustin Rhodes (Goldust)

Dustin Rhodes Vs. Cody Rhodes at AEW Double or Nothing

Goldust's release from the company was only a matter of time really, given how little he was being used by WWE and how looming his brother, Cody Rhodes' company AEW was around the corner.

After a long sequence of video teases, Dustin Rhodes was announced as Cody Rhodes' opponent for Double or Nothing and shortly afterwards, he was added to the alumni section of the WWE website.

Since then Dustin Rhodes was announced as a full-time member of the AEW roster and has teamed with his brother Cody against the Young Bucks in another AEW show, Fight for the Fallen.

Given that he'd only wrestled 12 times in WWE this year his move to 2019 is a good thing for fans of Dustin Rhodes, and, despite his lengthy WWE career, not a great loss for WWE. So mostly a positive thing all-round!
