10 Trades WWE & AEW Need To Make In 2023

10. Dustin Rhodes To WWE

Admit it, you weren't expecting this guy first (if at all).

Stick with it though. Dustin Rhodes is happy in AEW, but that's not the argument here; nobody's suggesting that Tony Khan has been anything other than great for Dustin, and yet...the WWE Hall Of Fame surely beckons someday. To get a spot in that, Rhodes will probs have to return "home".

One last whirl for the Goldust character seems unnecessary, but don't rule that out either. Goldie was one of Triple H's first major feuds in the old WWF days, so 'The Game' likely has a healthy amount of affection for the gimmick. Provided Dustin gets to do his HOF speech makeup free, then a cameo here or there under the paints wouldn't hurt.

Rhodes' brother Cody is also nailed-on to bag a run as WWE World Champ next year too, and it'd be amazing if Dustin was there for a big ol' hug/tearful tribute to their father Dusty. This simply needs to happen in 2023.
