Dustin Rhodes Speaks After Losing AEW TNT Title: “Doc Said I Need A Very Invasive Major Surgery”
Rhodes to be out of action.
All Elite Wrestling wrapped up their residency in Chicago, Illinois, with the July 31st edition of Collision. Headlining that show was Dustin Rhodes defending his TNT Championship against Kyle Fletcher.
They clashed in a Chicago Street Fight, and after a 16-minute bout, it was Fletcher emerging victorious to become champion.
In his first comments since losing the title, Rhodes sent out a tweet and noted that he was informed that he has to undergo a ‘very invasive surgery.’
Sorry guys, feel like I failed my fans. Gonna be out for a while as Doc said I need a very invasive major surgery. MRI’s and cat scans this week, due to Kyle Fletcher.
In any case, for the time I was the face of TNT was special to me. I will never take what I have for granted.
I am in a terrible amount of pain and have a hole in my leg, but that won’t stop me from #KeepSteppin
Rhodes added that it is ‘not a work.’
The match between Fletcher and Rhodes included Rhodes having a screwdriver driven into his leg.
Rhodes’ TNT Title reign kicked off in July at AEW All In Texas. He won the title in a four-way match after it was declared vacant following Adam Cole having to step away from the ring.
