AEW Star Dustin Rhodes' Mastiff Wins 3rd Prize at Crufts Dog Show

Beast, a mastiff owned by AEW and Ring of Honor wrestler Dustin Rhodes, won a third place award after participating in Crufts, the largest dog show in the world.

A proud Rhodes was thrilled after the performance.

Beast frequently competes in dog shows and has fared quite well, as Rhodes showcased in this social media post last December.

A couple months later, Rhodes announced that Beast would take part in Crufts.

The Kennel Club organizes the annual dog show, which takes place in Solihull, England and began on Thursday.

Beast finished third out of nine entrants in Class 234 (Open Dog) within the mastiff breed category of the working group.

Rhodes has wrestled professionally since 1998. He's notably wrestled in WWE on-and-off from 1995-2019 and also appeared in WCW and TNA as well. Known as Goldust, Rhodes won the Intercontinental Championship three times, the Hardcore Championship seven times and tag team belts on three occasions.

In recent years, Rhodes previously won the AEW TNT title (July 2025) in addition to the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Championship (August 2024) and World Six-Man Tag Team Championship belts (July 2024).
