AEW Star Signs New Multi-Year Contract

Tony Khan AEW

A popular AEW star is staying with the company.

Back in September, it was reported that Dustin Rhodes’ AEW contract was set to expire before the end of the month. Despite this, Rhodes continued to feature on television.

The veteran has been with the company since 2019 but has spent most of 2024 wrestling on Rampage and in Ring of Honor.

To add to the speculation, days after the report emerged on his future, Rhodes announced the launch of his own promotion the Rhodes Wrestling Association.

However, it seems he’s going nowhere.

Dustin Rhodes Signs AEW Contract

In a post on social media, Rhodes announced he’d signed a new multi-year contract to remain All Elite. Furthermore, he plans to end his career with the company.

Today I have signed a new multi yr contract with @AEW

I want to thank my boss @TonyKhan for every opportunity he has given me. Since coming here and being an original since inception, I have truly had the time of my life. Everybody knows my story, and how much I have been through in all my yrs. Lost my passion and found it again HERE in @AEW at the first Double Or Nothing. Did not expect this One Last Ride to last as long as it has, and man, what a run I have had.

I will finish my career here at #AEW as I feel it is home to me. I have never felt respected and wanted like I have here. This makes me want to do my very best for Tony and push myself harder than I ever have. I feel loved and wanted here. I love all of our roster deeply.

I want to thank the fans for all of your support. I want to thank the men and women in the locker rooms we have shared and created magic together. I want to thank @TonyKhan for believing in me and relying on me in so many ways. I won’t let you down.

I love it here in #AEW and can’t wait to see where the next few yrs take me. Thank you all for your constant love and support, and Thank you to @aew!

And last but not least, I want to thank my family for their support. They are the true rockstars❤️!!

I AM ONCE AGAIN #AllElite
