All Elite Wrestling has reached its fifth year of existence. And with that, the company began a major restructuring process that has been described as “necessary to move to the next phase.” After several exits and entries within its administrative sector, the company has opted to make significant cuts in its staff.
And while losing one’s job is definitely not good, fans are hoping that a certain wrestler does get fired or ask for his release. Who you may ask? Well, it’s none other than Dustin Rhodes, the man who can help his brother finish his story!

In the last few hours, several dismissals have been reported among the wrestlers, managers, and announcers in AEW. PWInsider noted that the company is evaluating its staff to make their production more efficient. But one thing that’s worth noticing is that the released All Elite Wrestling workers do not have non-compete clauses that prevent them from finding a gig in another company or accepting dates in the coming days. This can help WWE bring fan-favorite Dustin Rhodes back to the company to play a huge role in WrestleMania. The former Goldust has been active on X when it comes to commenting on his brother’s feud. This has made fans speculate that he could become a part of the current storyline, especially after tonight’s segment which made Dustin Rhodes take to Twitter again.
Karma is a bitch!

Tonight’s main event of RAW was a Bloodline Rules match between Seth “Freakin” Rollins and Solo Sikoa. The match took no time to escalate into a brawl with the rest of the Bloodline involved. First Cody Rhodes and then “Main Event” Jey Uso tried to interfere but were overwhelmed by The Rock and Roman Reigns. In fact, the Bloodline made a mess, especially taking it out on the American Nightmare and The Visionary. This violent segment has prompted fans to urge the elder brother to take action now.
Fans want the Rhodes to reunite
When Dustin Rhodes tweeted his voice against the Bloodline, the fans started requesting him to return to WWE. After all, now is the time when his brother needs him the most. To come and help him finish his story. So taking to the comments, fans asked Goldust to even leave AEW if necessary. Here are some of the tweets:
This fan simply asked if Rhodes was getting released to help his brother.

Another user remarked that Khan’s business savvy could come into question if he grants Dustin Rhodes his release to appear in WWE.

One fan suggested that Tony Khan be given an ultimatum.
If you're under contract, the nice guy better let you be there.
If you're not under contract, jump ship, and whip somebody's ass this weekend.
