Dustin Rhodes requires surgery before he can step foot back into an AEW ring.
While speaking on a recent episode of the Talk is Jericho podcast, Dustin Rhodes admitted that he was thinking of retirement. However, he also revealed that he will need a couple of surgeries in order to be as healthy as possible to get back in the ring for a final match.
“I look at Ric Flair, his supposed last match, I don’t wanna do that,” Rhodes told Chris Jericho. “So as long as I can get out of the business and still walk. Because I do need a couple of knee replacements, but that’s fine, I’ll get the knee replacements. I’ll be fine. I’ll be able to walk around. But I just remember getting in the business and seeing a couple of the old timers on walkers and in wheelchairs. I’m like, ‘I don’t wanna get to that point.’”
