"We have a 'bloodline' too," says WWE legend after the AEW arrival of his family members
A WWE veteran has brought up how his family could have something similar to The Bloodline after the next generation of wrestlers in his family made their debut in AEW a few days ago. This would be Dustin Rhodes.
Both The Natural and his brother Cody Rhodes are considered second-generation stars in his family, with their father Dusty being one of the pioneers of pro wrestling. At this point, they are considered wrestling royalty. Just a few days ago, their nephews Wyatt and Wayne Rhodes competed in a dark match before AEW Collision.
On X/Twitter, Dustin Rhodes commented on his nephews debuting as The Texas Outlaws and thanked Tony Khan for giving them the opportunity. He claimed that now that the third generation of the Rhodes Family was venturing more into the industry, they now had a "Bloodline" as well, referencing the Samoan Bloodline that has taken over WWE and other major promotions.
"My boys!! The #TexasOutlaws Thank you @TonyKhan for their opportunity and for the world to know...... we have a "bloodline" too!!" the veteran tweeted.
Dustin Rhodes also found success on AEW Collision over the weekend
Dustin Rhodes has found a surge of success recently. First, he allied with The Von Erichs, and the trio won the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Title at Battle of the Belts almost a month ago. This band of second-generation stars coming from wrestling royalty ended up finding success decades after their fathers did the same.
On the latest edition of Collision, Dustin teamed up with fellow Texan Sammy Guevara, and they ended up dethroning The Undisputed Kingdom to become the new ROH Tag Team Champions, ending a seven-month reign in the process.
After a few shortcomings and disappointments, The Natural has held on and found success in now both AEW and ROH.
It remains to be seen if he'll continue to right this wave of momentum heading towards the last few months of the year. Seeing how his partnership with both The Von Erichs and Sammy Guevara has been going, he has a real chance of keeping this up.
