Dustin Rhodes reunites with former WWE star backstage in AEW after years: "Where the f have you been?"

AEW star Dustin Rhodes has had a Hall of Fame-worthy wrestling career. He now predominantly performs on the Tony Khan-owned Ring of Honor promotion, where he is a reigning ROH World Tag Team Champion and a reigning ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champion.

The former Goldust recently reunited with wrestler/YouTuber Maven at AEW backstage. Maven was signed to WWE from 2001 to 2005. He is a former three-time WWF Hardcore Champion and was one of the most popular names in the company of that era. At WrestleMania 18, the two locked horns for the above title. This was the 48-year-old's only WrestleMania match, and it was quite entertaining.

When the two wrestlers recently met after years at a recent AEW show backstage, it made for a wholesome moment.

"What are you doing? Where the f**k have you been?" said Dustin Rhodes when he spotted his former rival backstage. [4:25 - 4:28]

The duo then fondly recalled their WrestleMania match and displayed immense mutual respect. Hopefully, fans will be able to see Maven in an AEW ring in the future.
