Dustin Rhodes Reveals Why He’ll Never Return to WWE

TLDR

Dustin Rhodes responded to a fan's request to bring Goldust back to WWE by firmly stating he will not return, citing that he "never got a raise there" and explaining that doing what he was told "got me nowhere" in WWE. Rhodes, who signed a six-year deal with AEW running through 2030, said he has done "the best work of my career with AEW" and dismissed the idea of returning to WWE where he would be "sitting the bench doing nothing." He acknowledged loving the Goldust character but stated it "ran its course" and made clear his commitment to finishing his career with AEW.
