Dustin Rhodes says he will be better than when he returns to AEW

Dustin Rhodes has been on the mend since undergoing double knee replacement surgery in August, and he recently took to X to give fans an update on his current recovery status. The former TNT champion was confident that he would return to the Jacksonville-based promotion stronger than ever.

"Update: Knees are still in pain but getting better by the day. Tough month. All in all, Rehab is going well and pushing through. Long way to go but positive I will be better than ever when I return. Why, grit, work ethic, passion and love for wrestling. Don't tell @RealBillyGunn, but I am the best over 55 ever!!!!!," Dustin wrote.

Although Rhodes is expected to be out of commission for a while, with no specific timeline for his return, The Natural is considered one of the most resilient wrestlers in the world, despite his age.
