Dustin Rhodes Says He Wants One Last World Title Before Retirement

Dustin Rhodes isn’t done chasing gold just yet. In a new interview with Sportskeeda’s Bill Apter, “The Natural” opened up about his final chapter in professional wrestling — and he’s got his eyes locked on one more prize before hanging up his boots for good.

“Before I retire, which will probably be in two or three years, I do want a shot at the Ring of Honor World Title,” Rhodes said. “I think I can get it.”

Rhodes, who already holds the ROH Tag Team Titles with Sammy Guevara and the ROH Six-Man Titles with The Von Erichs, made it clear that the top belt is the last mountain he wants to climb before calling it a career.

When asked if he sees Ring of Honor regaining the momentum it once had, Rhodes replied, “I hope it is. I love Ring of Honor. We’re trying, we’re doing the best we can.”

Currently, the ROH World Championship is held by Bandido, but if Rhodes gets his wish, fans could see one last classic world title run from a true veteran of the game.

Dustin Rhodes’ Championship Legacy

Over the decades, Dustin Rhodes has collected a long list of titles across multiple promotions. Here’s a look at his championship resume:

• WWE Intercontinental Champion (3x) – as Goldust, where he delivered some of the most iconic character work in WWE history.
• WWE Hardcore Champion (9x) – holding the title during the 24/7 rule era, becoming one of the division’s most decorated names.
• WCW United States Heavyweight Champion (2x) – a major titleholder during WCW’s competitive run.
• WCW World Tag Team Champion (2x) – teaming with Ricky Steamboat and Barry Windham.
• WWE World Tag Team Champion (1x) – with his brother Cody Rhodes, in a storyline that saw their family unite against The Authority.
• AEW TNT Champion (Inaugural challenger) – while he didn’t win, his match against Cody to launch the title is still considered an AEW classic.
• ROH Tag Team Champion – with Sammy Guevara
• ROH Six-Man Tag Team Champion – with The Von Erichs

Dustin Rhodes has nothing left to prove — except to himself. Chasing the ROH World Title might be his final act, and if he pulls it off, it could be one hell of a farewell.
