While The Rock and Roman Reigns aim to bolster The Bloodline on Friday Night SmackDown, Dustin Rhodes and The Von Erichs continue their own familial legacy on AEW Rampage.

Rhodes will be teaming up with Ross and Marshall Von Erich in trios action as AEW is in the thick of "Von Erich Country" down in Texas. The Von Erichs, who are the sons of Kevin Von Erich, expressed their excitement ahead of teaming with Rhodes as Marshall thanked Tony Khan for making the pairing happen.

Thank you @TonyKhan we’ve been wanting to team with @dustinrhodes for years! #TexasBoys @AEW pic.twitter.com/320AP6k0oy

Dustin Rhodes Gives A History Lesson

Ross and Marshall weren't the only ones excited for the opportunity as Dustin himself was pumped to team up with another legacy family in the "one true sport."

Rhodes took to social media and was informed by AEW's Alex Marvez of the additional historical significance that "The Natural" is teaming up with Ross and Marshall.

"A little history lesson for you. Our own Alex Marvez told me last night that their dad Kevin tagged one and only one time with my pops back in 1978. So you can imagine how special this meant to me. #VonErichsAndRhodes #TexasBoys whooping tail!! Trios anybody? Thanks Tony Khan for making this happen. Historical and honored. #keepsteppin and see you tomorrow night on #AEWRampage baby!!!"

Marshall and Ross Von Erich have already competed in ROH, but the brothers, along with Kevin, shared a good deal of experience in Major League Wrestling. Ross & Marshall actually became the World Tag Team Champions for the promotion when the brothers beat Richard Holliday and former AEW World Heavyweight Champion MJF.
