Dustin Rhodes says he needs ‘very invasive major surgery’
Dustin Rhodes says he’s going to be out of action for some time.
The former TNT Champion announced on social media Sunday that doctors have told him he needs major invasive surgery following his Chicago Street Fight with Kyle Fletcher on Thursday’s Collision. Fletcher defeated Rhodes for the TNT title in the match.
Rhodes posted:
“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“
He later added, “Not a work.”
Despite losing the TNT title on Thursday, Rhodes still holds two championships. He’s one half of the ROH Tag Team Champions with Sammy Guevara and one third of the ROH Six Man Tag Team Champions with Marshall and Ross Von Erich.
Rhodes won the TNT title at AEW All In in a match he was added to last minute after Adam Cole withdrew due to undisclosed injuries. He pinned Daniel Garcia in a four-way match that also involved Fletcher and Guevara. His only successful defense of the belt came against Lee Moriarty on the July 26 episode of AEW Collision.
