Dustin Rhodes plays an unflagging wise counsel to his brother

Dustin Rhodes has been a constant source of support for his younger sibling. Back in February, when WWE pulled a disappointing rug in Cody Rhodes, a long-anticipated WrestleMania spot by injecting The Rock into the scene, the former Golddust was among the first to stand by his brother with an uplifting message.

No one can even imagine seeing Cody Rhodes being replaced from his spot opposite to the Tribal Chief after so many days of a boiling build-up for the rematch. But in an eccentric course of events, WWE almost snubbed him by booking another dream match between the Samoan cousins, The Rock and Roman Reigns. But in the end, they couldn’t get away with it. Thanks to fans’ unbridled backlash and the incredible ‘We Want Cody’ movement. Even before fans lashed out at the company, Dustin Rhodes reminded his brother to keep his chin up. ”No matter what any company throws at a “Rhodes”, we make lemonade out of it!! We are forever one of the most iconic families of all time. What we do….., is always #KeepSteppin #RhodesLove” he wrote over Twitter.
