7-time WWE champion signs new AEW contract

Dustin Rhodes has signed a multi-year contract extension with All Elite Wrestling. The announcement came through social media, where the current ROH Tag Team and Six-Man Tag Team Champion expressed gratitude to Tony Khan for the opportunities received since joining the company.

Rhodes reflected on his journey and the impact AEW has had on his career. His words captured the significance of this latest chapter in his wrestling journey:

Since arriving here as one of the originals, I’ve truly had the most incredible time of my life. Everyone knows my story and everything I’ve been through all these years. I lost my passion and found it again HERE in AEW at the first Double Or Nothing. Never expected this final journey to last this long, and what an incredible journey it has been.

The veteran performer confirmed his commitment to conclude his career with AEW, emphasizing the unique environment he has found within the company:

I will finish my career here in AEW because it feels like home. I’ve never felt so respected and wanted as I do here. This makes me want to give my absolute best for Tony and push harder than ever before. I feel loved and wanted here. I deeply love our entire roster.

Current success in Ring of Honor

Rhodes continues to make his mark in Ring of Honor, holding dual championship status. He currently shares the ROH Tag Team Championship with Sammy Guevara and the ROH Six-Man Tag Team Championship alongside Ross and Marshall Von Erich.

2024 has proven to be one of Rhodes’ most active years since 2020, showcasing his enduring ability to deliver compelling matches. Beyond his in-ring achievements, Rhodes has embraced a mentorship role, particularly working with emerging talent in AEW’s women’s division.
