56-year-old AEW star Dustin Rhodes had double knee replacement surgery back in August, which brought an abrupt end to his lengthy run as ROH World Tag Team Champion and ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champion.
That’s a very tough injury to deal with for a wrestler at his age who isn’t ready to retire just yet. With that in mind, Rhodes gave an update on social media last night about how his knees are feeling, with a timeline for when we might see him whooping some young punk’s ass again.
“They still hurt a bit, especially in the mornings. I do have a good ways to go. Remember I am 56 and pushing hard, just takes time. Not young anymore. Prob March I should be ready to kill everyone lol. Maybe, I am pushing hard my man”
Even if that’s an aggressive recovery estimate, Dustin still has about two years left on his AEW contract, so there’s no need to rush this comeback.
Do you think Dustin Rhodes will eventually return to the ring and win another championship in AEW or ROH before he retires? Let me know in the comments below, Cagesiders.
