All Elite Wrestling (AEW) has announced that they have signed Dustin Rhodes to a multi-year contract extension. This new arrangement will see the former Goldust perform multiple roles for the promotion. Alongside competing in-ring, he will now also be a promo coach and match producer.
AEW President and CEO Tony Khan commented on the extension, highlighting how Rhodes has “rejuvenated” his career whilst with AEW. He also stressed the talent and knowledge that Rhodes will be able to provide them.
“Dustin Rhodes has had an incredible wrestling career that has spanned decades. His amazing journey brought him to AEW, and he’s rejuvenated his career here,” Khan stated.
“In addition to all of the wisdom he’s shared with us as we’ve launched All Elite Wrestling, he’s come here and worked so hard for us. His comeback match against his brother Cody at Double or Nothing was one of the most acclaimed bouts in recent years, and it marked a new chapter for all of us.”
He explained, “Dustin and I had agreed weeks ago after Fight For The Fallen that we both wanted him to stay with All Elite Wrestling. He’s already done so much for us, and I’m thrilled that it’s official now that Dustin will be on our team going forward, both backstage and in the ring!”
Rhodes recently wrestled on AEW’s Fight For The Fallen event. He and his brother, Cody, lost a tag team match against The Young Bucks.
