Dustin Runnels could not be any prouder of his little brother, Cody. According to a video the wrestler known as Goldust posted to Instagram, he’s already watched All In and Cody’s match with Nick Aldis multiple times.
“Hey little brother, it’s big brother here,” Dustin begins. “I love you. Congratulations on an incredible match with Nick Aldis to become the new NWA World Heavyweight Champion. Unbelievable.”

After winning the ROH World Championship last year, Cody spoke about how supportive his older brother was.
“I love my big brother. I absolutely do. And if the shoe was on the other foot and he became World Champion or becomes World Champion, I’ll be there,” Cody said in a media conference call in 2017.
As a team, the brothers are 2x former WWE tag-team champions and won the Slammy award for tag-team of the year in 2013. Earlier that year, Cody had eliminated his brother from the Royal Rumble, the second such time he had done so.
Earlier this summer, Dustin commemorated the 3-year anniversary of Dusty Rhodes’ death.
“Been an especially hard year for me,” Dustin Tweeted on June 11th. “3 yrs. ago we lost our dad. Every damn day, I wish I could see you, or pick up the phone and call you. God, I miss you, Dad. You are the strongest, greatest man I ever knew. I love you pops.”
