Dustin Rhodes wins TNT Championship at AEW All In
Dustin Rhodes is the new TNT Champion.
In a four-way match to crown a new champion, Rhodes countered Daniel Garcia’s dragon tamer submission into a flash pin, scoring the pinfall and his first AEW title in a match that also featured Rhodes’ tag team partner Sammy Guevara and Kyle Fletcher.
After the match, an emotional Rhodes took his time before eventually getting to his feet and taking the championship from the referee. Nephews Wyatt and Wayne Rhodes came to the ring to celebrate along with Ross & Marshall Von Erich. Guevara at first was upset about how the match went down, but eventually shook hands with Rhodes as the new champion continued to celebrate his title victory.
Shortly before All In began on Saturday, it was announced that Adam Cole would have to vacate the TNT Championship that he was set to defend on the show against Fletcher. In a promo that took place right before the match, an emotional Cole announced that he was out of action due to injury and wasn’t sure if he would be able to return to wrestling.
Rhodes is one third of the ROH Six-Man Tag Team Champions with The Von Erichs and also holds the ROH Tag Team titles with Guevara.
