The Rhodes family legacy took another big step this week with the AEW ring debuts of Wayne and Wyatt Rhodes. The brothers debuted in a dark match on Saturday AEW Collision tapings where they faced Aaron Solo and Jon Cruz. Wayne & Wyatt are the nephews of Dustin and Cody Rhodes and used the tag team name The New Texas Outlaws for their match. The nickname is a tribute to the tag team that consisted of their grandfather Dusty Rhodes and Dick Murdoch.
Wayne and Wyatt’s AEW debut comes shortly after Cody Rhodes expressed his high opinion of the pair. Earlier this month, the undisputed WWE Champion said he would not be the end of his wrestling family and spoke highly of his nephews.
The taping was a special night for the Rhodes family, as in addition to Wayne and Wyatt’s debut, their uncle Dustin also became champion. Rhodes became a double champion in Ring of Honor, winning the ROH Tag Team Titles with Sammy Guevara by defeating Matt Taven and Mike Bennett. Dustin also holds the ROH Six-Man Tag Team Titles with Marshall and Ross Von Erich.
As for Cody, the undisputed WWE Champion, he will defend his gold against Kevin Owens at the WWE party in Berlin later this month. Stay tuned to SE Scoops for all the latest on the Rhodes family and their continued evolution in wrestling.
