AEW legend responds to a fan theory about WWE not wanting him back anytime soon

Many current AEW stars have previously worked under the WWE banner. One such name is wrestling legend Dustin Rhodes. He wrestled in the Stamford-based promotion under the Goldust moniker. He recently responded to a fan's claim about his future in the business.

Dustin has been part of the Tony Khan-led company for nearly five years now. According to recent rumors, his contract is set to expire soon. A curious fan speculated that he might leave the promotion to join his brother, Cody Rhodes, in WWE after his deal concludes.

A disrespectful X/Twitter user claimed that the Triple H-led WWE would not want The Natural back in the promotion. The Natural clapped back at his hater and replied to the rude comment. He wrote:

"Glad you feel that way as you are following me. Nobody better at my age"

Dustin Rhodes addresses AEW contract expiry rumors

Dustin Rhodes' AEW contract has become a matter of discussion online. On X/Twitter he clarified that his contract was indeed set to expire in September this year.

"Wrong! Jeeze guys, do better. Yes, my contract is up in September, and No, I am absolutely NOT DONE. Having the best matches of my life and hopefully, God willing I will get to retire on my own terms, respected with a full heart."

The Natural added that he hadn't considered returning to WWE because he was not done with AEW yet. He also mentioned that negotiations for his new contract were going on.

"Hopefully negotiations go well because I am damn worth the world. The only things that matter to me are: taking care of my family first and foremost, and finishing up when I am ready, and how I envision my retirement. So hold off guys, This biz is my life and I love doing it for you, while still having fun and able. #KeepSteppin and thank you all for your continued love and support!"

Dustin Rhodes joined the Jacksonville-based promotion in 2019. His first match in the company was against Cody Rhodes. He lost to The American Nightmare at the Double or Nothing pay-per-view that year.
