Dustin Rhodes Wants To See Tony Khan Create An 'ID' Program, Mina Shirakawa's AEW Future

Yesterday at 07:59 PM

Tony Khan is optimistic that fans will be seeing more of Mina Shirakawa on AEW TV moving forward.

During Thursday’s media call to promote Saturday’s AEW Full Gear 2024 pay-per-view event, the AEW President praised Shirakawa. He said,

"I am optimistic to keep Mina with us a lot. Mina Shirakawa fits in very well in AEW and she has been a great part of the show. We'd like to have her here as much as possible. Coming up after Full Gear, I'm optimistic that Mina Shirakawa can join us more frequently and we'll see what that can be as far as her schedule with AEW and STARDOM simultaneously."

He continued, "We have a great relationship with STARDOM now and I love working with STARDOM, Mr. Okada, and the great Bushiroad executives. Mina Shirakawa is a great star for STARDOM and also, now, a great star for AEW in America and all over the world. I feel Mina Shirakawa adds a lot to AEW and I would like her to stay indefinitely, more regularly, and be with us more frequently. Thankfully, STARDOM is open to that and they've been very kind about opening her schedule up to us. I expect to see Mina Shirakawa a lot in AEW going forward."

Dustin Rhodes would like to see AEW President Tony Khan create a development program similar to the new WWE ID concept.

While speaking with WFAA 8, the former Goldust commented on his Rhodes Wrestling Academy potentially becoming a school under the program. He said,

"I don't think through WWE, because I'm here and I think that's probably the reason they haven't reached out, right. Because I'm contracted with All Elite Wrestling. I would love for Tony to do that with us where we have a little type thing, that would be kind of cool for some of our schools, especially me since I'm like one of the originals here."
