The climax to Goldust’s sporadic run with the WWE has arrived. Shortly after AEW announced that Dustin Runnels would face his brother Cody at AEW Double or Nothing, the Artist Formerly Known As Goldust said goodbye to a character he’d been playing since 1995. First, Runnels posted a short video to Twitter.
Goodbye. #ThankYouGoldust #KeepSteppin ❤️?? pic.twitter.com/LjO89QrUFG

Official Statement: Done on my own terms. Thank you to the @WWEUniverse @wwe and the world of entertainment. #wrestling #DustinRhodes pic.twitter.com/dEwtjTm3Zg
