Dustin Rhodes ‘honored’ to team with Von Erichs on AEW Rampage
On AEW Rampage this Friday night, two legendary pro wrestling families are joining forces.
Dustin Rhodes & The Von Erichs (Ross & Marshall Von Erich) are teaming together in a trios match on this Friday’s Rampage episode. The match was taped after Wednesday night’s Dynamite in Cedar Park, Texas. Spoilers from the show can be found here.
Teaming with Ross & Marshall was an honor for Dustin Rhodes, who made a social media post thanking Tony Khan for booking the match. Dustin noted that his father Dusty Rhodes and Kevin Von Erich only teamed together once during their careers:
A little history lesson for you. Our own @alexmarvez told me last night that their dad Kevin tagged 1 and only 1 time with my pops back in 1978. So you can imagine how special this meant to me. #VonErichsAndRhodes #TexasBoys whooping tail!!
Trios anybody?
Thanks @TonyKhan for making this happen. Historical and honored. #keepsteppin and see you tomorrow night on #AEWRampage baby!!!#hookem
Rhodes & The Von Erichs faced the team of Hit, Romero Cruz & Shimbashi in the Rampage trios match. This was Ross & Marshall’s first time competing for AEW or ROH since December.

- No DQ match: Jeff Hardy vs. Sammy Guevara
