Last night’s episode of All Elite Wrestling’s YouTube show, Dark, saw Dustin Rhodes team with Sonny Kiss. The duo took on the team of Peter Avalon and Q.T. Marshall, who was making his in-ring AEW debut. Rhodes and Kiss ended up walking away the winners of this tag team encounter.
Following their victory, the two were interviewed backstage, where Rhodes shared some high praise for his partner.
“The world out there listening right now, this right here is Sonny Kiss. He did awesome, incredible partner tonight to have in the ring for AEW Dark,” Rhodes said. “We killed it out there as always, what do you think, man?”
“I’m just overwhelmed. I’m excited, I am so happy to the AEW fans—they’ve so receptive. And thank you for being my inspiration. I mean, I did this for him, I did this in homage, obviously,” Kiss replied, indicating to his red-and-black attire. Rhodes admitted he had no idea that Kiss was going to do that and was pleasantly surprised when he first saw it. Kiss then promised AEW fans that they wouldn’t be seeing the last of them as a team.
Rhodes added, “Tonight I was up close and personal, and I got to see you actually perform, and you did an exquisite job. A great job, and I was very happy that I got to tag team with you.”
When asked what their tag team name would be, Kiss suggested they leave it in the hands of the AEW fans. Rhodes stated that he liked that idea before the pair walked away.
