Dustin Rhodes, a well-respected figure in professional wrestling and a 13-time champion in WWE, has made it clear that he will not return to the company after being asked to accept a 50% pay cut. This statement comes amid reports of WWE's parent company, TKO, restructuring contracts for various wrestlers, leading to significant pay reductions and the departure of notable talents such as Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. Rhodes expressed his frustration on social media, emphasizing that he has worked too hard for his legacy to be diminished by a drastic pay cut. Currently, Rhodes is active in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and runs the Rhodes Wrestling Association in Texas, where he recently announced the debut of Garret Borden, the son of wrestling legend Sting, at an upcoming event. As of now, Rhodes is recovering from double knee replacement surgery and has been sidelined since losing the TNT title last July.
