Dustin Rhodes is eyeing a return to the AEW ringbut fans will have to wait just a little longer.
The 56-year-old wrestling veteran, who underwent double knee replacement surgery earlier this year, gave fans an update on Twitter about how his recovery is progressing. While Rhodes has remained optimistic throughout rehab, he finally hinted at a target month for his returnand its not around the corner.
When asked by a fan how his knees are doing, Rhodes gave a brutally honest assessment of the situation:
Rhodes hasnt wrestled since July and was still holding championship gold at the time of his injury. He and the Von Erichs had just vacated the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Titles, and with Sammy Guevara now defending the ROH Tag Titles as part of La Faccin Ingobernable, its clear AEW has moved forwardbut Rhodes isnt done just yet.
With March 2026 now penciled in as his potential return, the countdown begins for what could be one of the final runs in the storied career of The Natural.
