Dustin Rhodes captures AEW TNT Championship at All In: Texas
The vacated All Elite Wrestling TNT Championship was put on the line on Saturday afternoon at All In: Texas as Kyle Fletcher, Daniel Garcia, Sammy Guevara and Dustin Rhodes were put into a four-way match for the title. Adam Cole was forced to give up the title hours before the pay-per-view started because of health issues and AEW founder Tony Khan booked the match. It forced Rhodes and Guevara to pull double duty. The Sons of Texas tag team was already involved in an eight-man tag-team match during the pre-show festivities. The Sons of Texas were also in a match at Ring of Honor (ROH)'s Supercard of Honor show the night before. Fatigue would seemingly set in for anyone who was performing in their third match in 24 hours. Rhodes pulled out all the stops in the match. The 56-year-old pro wrestling legend hit a destroyer on Fletcher. His tag-team partner, Guevara, also pulled off an incredible Spanish fly on Garcia early in the match. All four competitors were doing what they could to get their hands on the gold. With Rhodes and Garcia in the ring, Rhodes rolled up Garcia and got the pinfall. It was an emotional moment for "The Natural," who became a triple champion. He was one of the first to join All Elite Wrestling when it first took off in 2019. And nearly six years later, he earned the first championship of his career. Some of Rhodes' family members joined him in the ring to celebrate the title. Rhodes is now the AEW TNT champion, one half of the ROH world tag team champion and ROH world six-man tag champion. He has now held titles in AEW, ROH, WWE and World Championship Wrestling.

56-year-old Dustin Rhodes wins AEW gold in his home state
The crowd in Globe Life Field, and the AEW announcers and wrestlers on our screen, were still processing Adam Cole's possible retirement announcement from moments before. But the show must go on, and a new TNT champion needed to be crowned after Cole vacated. Cole's originally scheduled opponent Kyle Fletcher was a part of the 4-way for the vacant belt, as was previous champ Daniel Garcia. Both Garcia and his mentor Matt 'Daddy Magic' Menard shared a moment with Cole during their entrance. Three-time TNT titleholder Sammy Guevara was also in the match, along with the man he holds the ROH Tag titles with, Dustin Rhodes. That duo was in their second match of the night, after winning an 8-man on the pre-show. Rhodes and Guevara, together known as Sons of Texas, worked together on occasion, and didn't work against each other, including during a bit of fun where all three babyfaces hit Dustin's Unnatural Kick/Shattered Dreams on the favorite Fletcher. But their alliance broke down after Sammy inadvertently hit a corner drop kick on his partner. Garcia tried to take advantage of that, setting off a sequence that would end when Guevara took out Fletcher with a cutter as Garcia locked his partner in a Dragontamer. But Dustin was able to reverse the hold and roll the younger man up for a win, taking his first AEW gold in his home state at 56-years-old. The Texans in attendance loved it, as did the ones who came into celebrate with Rhodes, his nephews Wayne & Wyatt Rhodes and his trios partners Ross & Marshall Von Erich. A call that will be debated online, but felt right given what it followed. Fletcher will be champ soon, but All In Texas was Dustin Rhodes time.
