AEW star Dustin Rhodes took to Twitter last night to comment on Pro Wrestling Illustrated naming his Double or Nothing classic with his brother Cody as the match of the year. The bout featured Rhodes returning to his “Natural” gimmick, and was his first appearance since being released by WWE a few weeks prior. He writes, “Very honored and humbled to be nominated #MOTY. Great talented field. This was storytelling at its finest between 2 brothers. It was an invested, complete and perfect night. Thank all of you for watching. Thanks for still believing in me.”

After an early start that saw both brothers pay homage to their late father Dusty Rhodes, Cody took the early advantage, and mocked Dustin by mimicking his old Stardust gimmick. Dustin fired back with an impressive arsenal of offense, but would be busted open by Brandi Rhodes after a cane shot to the head. As the blood poured and the tension built, the Rhodes brothers threw everything they had at one another, including Dustin pulling out a code-red. In the end…a pair of Cross-Rhodes finisher gave the American Nightmare the victory, leading to a post-match reunion that left the Las Vegas crowd in a puddle of tears.
