Dustin Rhodes is ready to face Samoa Joe.
Rhodes will face Joe in an AEW World Championship Eliminator Match on Wednesday's episode of AEW Dynamite. If 'The Natural' is able to pull out the win, he'll earn a future match at Joe and the AEW World Championship.
While speaking to Sports Illustrated for an interview ahead of Dynamite, Rhodes said that he's going to fight Joe with every ounce of energy in his body.
“I’m going to go out there and earn it. Joe’s a big, tough SOB, but I can’t wait to lock horns. I’ve been knocked down too many times to remember, but I’ve gotten back up every single time. I’m one tough SOB, too, and I’m going to fight with every ounce of energy in my body.”
Rhodes also went on to comment on his promo against Joe that aired on the April 6 edition of AEW Collision.
“I was very proud of that promo. The ultimate dream is to become world heavyweight champion. Time is slipping, but that is still what I’m chasing. I’m still dreaming about it, too, still working toward it."
Fightful will have full coverage of AEW Dynamite as it airs, beginning at 8 p.m. EST. Check out the updated lineup for the show here.
