AEW Dynamite is set to feature several big matches to build to the inaugural Dynasty pay-per-view. Dustin Rhodes has just issued his final message before one of the biggest matches of his career.

Just days after a Rhodes Family member went up against a Samoan world champion named Joe in the main event of WWE WrestleMania XL, AEW will present a similar scenario as Cody Rhodes' big brother Dustin will take on World Champion Samoa Joe. However, this will be a Championship Eliminator match and if Rhodes wins, he will earn a future title match.

The Natural's big Dynamite match with The Samoan Submission Machine will take place one day before the second-generation star turns 55. He took to X today to share the promotional graphic. Rhodes used his signature catchphrase for the brief hashtag caption.

"#keepsteppin," Dustin Rhodes with the graphic below.

Rhodes was granted the Eliminator Match after a tense promo and response from Joe on Collision. Dustin's last match was a Rampage win over The Butcher on March 27, while Joe has not wrestled since retaining over Wardlow on March 13 in the Big Business Dynamite opener.


AEW Dynasty title match to change?

The inaugural AEW Dynasty pay-per-view is set to feature Samoa Joe defending the World Championship against Swerve Strickland.

Swerve earned the title shot by defeating Konosuke Takeshita in the Dynamite main event on March 27. However, there has been speculation that the company could change the match to a Triple Threat with Dustin Rhodes added, if he's booked to defeat Joe in tonight's Eliminator Match on Dynamite.

Swerve's previous shot at the World Championship also came in a Triple Threat. The Revolution pay-per-view in early March saw Joe retain over Strickland and Adam Page.
