6 Superstars let go by the WWE in 2019 - Where are they now?

#2 Goldust

Goldust hasn't looked back since asking for his release

At 50-years of age, Goldust is one of the oldest professional wrestlers, but shows up each and every week to take on any challenge that is thrown his way.

He made his first appearance in WWE as Dustin Rhodes almost three decades ago back in 1990. Since then, he’s had several tenures with the company, during which he remained one of WWE’s most loyal employees.

His second tenure saw him appear as Goldust, and he was labeled 'The Bizarre One' due to the odd gimmick. It took Goldust some time to click with the WWE Universe, but once he did he never looked back, remaining true to his gimmick and becoming an iconic character.

In WWE he, was a 9-time Hardcore Champion, 3-time Tag Team Champion, and 3-time Intercontinental Champion.

While Goldust remained on the midcard or battled as an enhancement talent, it seemed like he was happy with his role in the company. However, he underwent surgery on his knees in mid-2018, after which it was reported that he did not sign a new contract with WWE. His deal expired in March 2019 and Goldust confirmed his departure from WWE in April 2019, ending a long-term partnership with the promotion.

He did not waste much time and debuted in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) under 'The Natural' gimmick at the Double or Nothing pay-per-view in a match against his brother Cody Rhodes.
