Dustin Rhodes is set to face Kip Sabian in the quarterfinals of the TNT Championship Tournament this Wednesday. In a recent clip for the next “Road To” Rhodes told his brother Cody that if he couldn’t beat Sabian on AEW Dynamite, he’d retire.
Shocking clip from the next episode of “Road To”:
“If I cannot beat that son of a B***h, I will retire.” – @DustinRhodes on his TNT Championship Quarterfinal match up with @theKipSabian

I’m always asking the question ‘Can I still do this?’ My soul searching has led me to this. This TNT Tournament is the most important thing I’ve done since wrestling you at Double or Nothing, hands down. To be the first TNT Champion means every frickin thing you can possibly imagine to me.
One of the things I really want to discuss to you and really would like to talk to you instead of voice mailing you this…Look, this guy Kip Sabian is no joke. If I cannot beat that son of a b****, I will retire.
Several AEW stars and personalities have responded to Dustin Rhodes’ statement.
Looking forward to commentating the last match in the stellar career of @dustinrhodes this week on @AEWonTNT! pic.twitter.com/T7zCgeSnL2

1 week ago we celebrated @dustinrhodes’ birthday + his amazing career spanning 5 decades. There is hyperbole in wrestling but it’s no stretch to say Dustin’s better than ever today; I hope he’ll reconsider. @TheKipSabian carries a 2020 record of 6-3, same as Dustin. This is crazy https://t.co/yTfAM1vNmN

You should retire @dustinrhodes because if you beat @TheKipSabian (which he shouldn’t want to win and have to face me) Then I’ll end you in a way that will be considered “cruel and unusual” NO ONE in @AEWrestling is ready! https://t.co/D3z3Wz2dn2

You will not retire. And if you try, I will fight you, @dustinrhodes https://t.co/r0HT29ys0k
