Dustin Rhodes has seen and done it all in professional wrestling, from championship reigns to unforgettable rivalries.

On Twitter, Dustin shared how often he is asked about Cody’s success. He expressed pride in his brother’s accomplishments, acknowledging how the Rhodes family has left a lasting mark on wrestling.
“I love it and I am super proud. Proud of him, proud of my dad, proud of our family. We all 3 have different styles that stand us out and Cody has definitely surpassed every expectation of him.”

Dustin remains focused on his career, aiming to capture a World Title before stepping away from the ring for good. Whether he can achieve that goal remains to be seen, but one thing is sure—his legendary match with Cody will remain untouched.
