With AEW being the fresh air that he needed, the veteran wrestler also spoke about embracing social media and its importance within the pro-wrestling landscape.
"You have to adapt, you have to grow with anything, with every company," Dustin said. "With everything, you grow, and if you don't grow, you will sink. You'll fall."
Following the bloody war with his brother, Cody, who's also an executive vice president for AEW, Dustin took to his Twitter account and called it "the greatest night of my life."

"Yeah, I would love to do that if that opportunity arises," Dustin said.
