Dustin Rhodes just shared a big update with fans after undergoing his long-awaited double knee replacement surgery.
The AEW veteran had been open for weeks about how both of his knees were destroyed and that hed be heading into a major operation on August 21. Now, that surgery is officially behind him. Posting a videos from his hospital bed, Rhodes showed his heavily bandaged knees and let everyone know the procedure was successful, writing: LFG Holy shit!!!
This comes after Rhodes had told fans that doctors couldnt repair the damage to his knees and that full replacements were the only option. He made it clear before going under the knife that this wasnt the end of his career, saying: By the way.This is NOT THE END.
Rhodes had been dealing with intense pain for months, even revealing earlier this month that nerve shots hurt like a bitch but gave him some temporary relief before surgery. With the operation complete, the next step for the 56-year-old star will be rehab and recovery, which could keep him out of action well into 2026.
Still, Dustin Rhodes has made a career out of defying expectations, and this latest battle is just another chapter in his legendary run.
