Dustin Rhodes has built a legendary career, winning championships across multiple promotions. While he is approaching the end of his in-ring journey, he plans to continue wrestling for at least a few more years before officially retiring.
While speaking in an interview on Battleground with Tim & Eli, Dustin Rhodes confirmed that he has thought about his retirement match and has a specific opponent in mind. While keeping the details private, he revealed that he plans to retire in about three years and wants his final match to take place on a major pay-per-view. Unlike traditional wrestling retirements, Rhodes made it clear that he wants to win his last match rather than lose.
Rhodes acknowledged that stepping away from wrestling will be difficult, as it has been a huge part of his life. However, he plans to stay involved in the business by coaching and producing, roles he already enjoys. He expressed his passion for helping younger wrestlers grow and sees passing on his experience as the most rewarding part of his career.
Dustin Rhodes has signed a multi-year contract with AEW, guaranteeing his stay with the company as both a wrestler and a mentor for younger talent. His knowledge and leadership remain important to AEW. However, it remains to be seen who his final opponent will be.
