Dustin Rhodes broke his silence following a tremendous match with CM Punk on the latest edition of AEW Dynamite.
The Natural and The Second City Saint performed in the night's opening contest after shaking hands and paying their respects. The two veteran performers exceeded fan expectations by putting up a wrestling clinic, which had the Pittsburgh crowd wildly cheering for both.
Despite coming inches closer to victory, especially when he hit the Crossroads followed by a Piledriver, Dustin lost after Punk covered him with a deep pin. Post-match, the two performers, embraced each other in a heartwarming moment.
Taking to Twitter, Dustin Rhodes thanked fans for their continued support. Furthermore, he also thanked CM Punk and added that every aspiring pro wrestler should watch the match between them on AEW Dynamite. In closing, Dustin wrote that he was honored to have shared a ring with Punk.
"Thank you all for your continued support. Don't think I could do it without you. Thank you @CMPunk for a match that every young aspiring pro wrestler should watch. It was my honor to throw down with you. #AEWDynamite."
