Dustin Rhodes announced he has signed a multi year deal with AEW and will finish his career there. Includes other opportunities and responsibilities outside of him wrestling.
Good for him if this is better for his life, but damn if I didn't wanna see a Dustin return at Mania to save Cody...then lead to a heel turn & let them tear the house down at SummerSlam.

He probably didn't want to be Goldust again which is 1000% what would have happened if he returned to WWE. It's not like he's relatively young like Cody, and he doesn't have a story to finish like Cody either.

Getting paid more to work less and not play dress up for the rest of your career sounds like a smart move.

I think he probably got deal for being able to run his wrestling school and some backstage options as a producer long term. He’s certainly been around enough to help the younger talent.

I dunno. Before Cody signed, I was saying it was gonna be 6 months before they had him being Stardust again and look where he's at, now.

Trips doesn't knock it out of the park every time, but his booking has been way more good than bad.

Now if Vince was still around & pulling the strings, I'd agree with you.
