Dustin Rhodes said that if he doesn’t beat Kip Sabian on Dynamite this Wednesday, he will retire.
AEW’s social media today shared a clip of the upcoming Road to the TNT Championship video that will drop on Monday. In the video, he is shown talking to Cody via phone about his match against Sabian this Wednesday, saying if he doesn’t win the match and advance in the tournament, he’ll retire.
The winner between Sabian and Rhodes will face Lance Archer, who defeated Colt Cabana to advance. Another tournament match that will take place Wednesday features Sammy Guevara facing Darby Allin. The winner of that match will face Cody in the semifinals.
