Dustin Rhodes won his first-ever AEW title at All In this year, the TNT Championship, defeating Daniel Garcia, Kyle Fletcher, and Sammy Guevara in a four-way match. However, his reign didn't last long as Fletcher dethroned him in a brutal Chicago Street Fight on the July 31 edition of Collision.

Following the title loss, Dustin Rhodes took to X (formerly Twitter) to drop a massive bombshell. The AEW star stated that he was in a tremendous amount of pain and, as per doctors, he requires a "very invasive major surgery," and will be out of action for the foreseeable future.

"Sorry guys, feel like I failed my fans. Gonna be out for a while as Doc said I need a very invasive major surgery. MRI's and cat scans this week, due to Kyle Fletcher. In any case, for the time I was the face of TNT was special to me. I will never take what I have for granted. I am in a terrible amount of pain and have a hole in my leg, but that won't stop me from #KeepSteppin," wrote Dustin Rhodes.
