AEW

Dustin Rhodes has confirmed plans for a non-AEW appearance taking place later this week in the United Kingdom.

As previously reported, Dustin Rhodes is heading to the United Kingdom to take part in Crufts, the international dog show.

With the event running from March 6 – 8 at The NEC in Birmingham, England, Rhodes has now confirmed he’s made it to the UK, tweeting:

“Team Beast made it to #BirminghamUK for @Crufts

“So excited and honored to attend the show.

“My Beast is pretty tired today from all the travel woes!

“Lets go.”

The post would be accompanied by photos of Rhodes and his colleagues, along with the Mastiff dog that will be showcased at Crufts.

Asked what days Rhodes is going to be in attendance at The NEC, the AEW star would confirm he will be at Crufts on Thursday in a follow up tweet.

Absent since last July, Dustin Rhodes has undergone double knee replacement surgery and recently provided an update on his rehab progress.

The former TNT Champion has previously hinted at a return date of March this year.
