Dustin Rhodes Undergoes Double Knee Surgery – Dustin Rhodes is on the road to recovery after undergoing double knee replacement surgery on Thursday. The 56-year-old AEW veteran shared post-operation videos and a photo on social media, updating fans about his condition and his mindset following the procedure.

Despite the major surgery, Rhodes made it clear that retirement is not in his immediate plans. Responding to a fan on social media, Rhodes explained that he intends to remain active in wrestling for at least another two years and four months. He wrote:

“Hell nah. I am in love with this business. As of right now, I have 2 yrs and 4 months left. AND DAMN GLAD AND PROUD OF @AEW and where I will finally say uncle. Maybe Probability 99.9%. Gotta watch out for that one percent – #IStandFirmWithAEW AND @TonyKhan.”

Rhodes also acknowledged that while it is too soon to know how his new knees will respond, recovery is expected to take longer due to his age. In storyline, his knee injury was tied to his TNT Title Street Fight against Kyle Fletcher on AEW Collision last month, where Fletcher used a screwdriver to attack Rhodes’ knee.

Staying in character, Rhodes promised that Fletcher will eventually face consequences when he is able to return:

“The older I get, recovery is longer and healing that hole was long. All good bud. Gonna be a Final Reckoning when I return.”

A respected veteran and fan favorite, Rhodes has shown no signs of slowing down mentally, reaffirming his passion for the wrestling business and his loyalty to AEW.
