WWE is not the only company with stars whose contract is set to be up soon and latest report suggest that the current AEW deal of Dustin Rhodes is also close to expiration.
Dustin himself confirmed earlier this year that his contract with Tony Khan’s promotion was up in September and that he was nowhere near being done with wrestling.
With the wrestling veteran recently winning gold in ROH, many assumed that his status with the company may have changed.
Latest reports from Fightful Select indicated however that this is not the case and as of the All Out PPV on September 7, his deal was still set to expire in the fall.
Dustin Rhodes has been signed to AEW since their very first show in Double or Nothing in May 2019. He faced his brother Cody Rhodes in a highly praised match at the show.
The 55-year-old has been an integral part of the company since then. He not only works as a performer but helps coach people behind the scenes as well.
While the former Goldust has not won any AEW titles during his run, he has had matches with the likes of CM Punk, Samoa Joe, and Kenny Omega proving that the promotion holds him in a high regard.
The AEW star has most recently been involved in a storyline with The Von Erichs and Sammy Guevara. He won the ROH Six Men Tag Team Championships with the Von Erichs during the AEW Battle of The Belts XI event in July.
Sammy Guevara helped save the trio from Dark Order upon his return to Television after 6 months. Guevara has since formed a tag team with Dustin and the duo has won the ROH tag team championship, making Rhodes a double champion.
