A highly respected AEW veteran claimed a remarkable achievement at their premier event, All In: Texas. The heart-warming moment led to CEO and President Tony Khan sending a message to him following his huge win.
The aforementioned wrestling legend, who is well-respected in the industry, is Dustin Rhodes. After Adam Cole vacated the TNT Championship due to not being medically cleared, a four-way match was made official to crown a new champion.
The Natural One competed against Sammy Guevara, Daniel Garcia, and Kyle Fletcher. It was a spectacular showdown that captivated the audience inside the Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. In the bout's final moments, Rhodes utilised a small package on Garcia to win and become the new TNT Champion.
The entire stadium erupted in loud cheers for the veteran, who accomplished a huge title win. Interestingly, this was Rhodes' first major singles championship since 1999 when he became the WWE Intercontinental Champion. Tony Khan took to X to congratulate him and called him 'the legend of wrestling.'
