Brothers Dustin and Cody Rhodes would never get to share the WrestleMania stage together as opponents during their respective runs in WWE. That's been a constant annoyance to the former in interviews, and it turns out he wasn't too fond of the pay-per-view match they did work at Fastlane 2015.

To Dustin, it was "one of the worst" matches his Goldust character ever had. Ouch.

During a chat with 'Sports Guys Talking Wrestling', Rhodes put the blame for that firmly on himself. He changed aspects of the match while it was in progress, and it didn't end up gripping the live crowd inside Memphis' FedExForum. When it was done, Goldust had to admit to himself that he got it wrong and that a Fastlane match wasn't what he'd wanted anyway.

This is a wrong Dustin hopes to right at AEW's Double Or Nothing event on 25 May. There, he'll face Cody again, albeit without the Goldust or Stardust gimmicks. Fingers crossed both brothers can have the match they've wanted for years.
