Dustin Rhodes and Terri Runnels are happy grandparents for the second time.

The wrestling world is celebrating a personal milestone for two of its beloved veterans. Dustin Rhodes and Terri Runnels have become grandparents once again, following the birth of their daughter Dakota’s second child.

Dustin, best known to fans as Goldust in WWE, embraced grandfatherhood for the first time in 2023. Now with the arrival of his newest family member, the joy has doubled. Terri Runnels, a trailblazer in her own right during WWE’s Attitude Era, shares in the excitement. Despite their separation years ago, both she and Dustin have remained united in their love and support for their daughter Dakota.

The proud grandmother took to her social media account with a couple of posts to celebrate the birth of the second grandchild. The post shows the healthy mother and newborn in the hospital, with Runnels welcoming her grandchild.

“Congratulations to my Angel and wonderful SIL, on the birth of their 2nd Angel!!! It is such a joy to watch them parent their children,they tag in and out with ease and love! His name is Duncan, and his Mommy and Dada are still trying to figure out his full name!”

WWE Is Planning More AEW Head-To-Heads

The weekend of July 12 is shaping up to be one of the most competitive in recent wrestling history. AEW is preparing to host its biggest US event to date, All In: Texas. The pay-per-view is expected to be a blockbuster for the promotion, both in scale and viewership.

However, AEW won’t be the only major player in action that night. WWE has announced that Saturday Night’s main Event will run on the same evening, and the highly anticipated return of Evolution will follow on July 13. Additionally, NXT’s Great American Bash is scheduled for July 12, making it a triple header from WWE across two days.

This sets the stage for a fierce ratings and attention battle, with fans forced to choose between competing shows. While some fans hoped that the promotions might avoid direct clashes, giving audiences a chance to enjoy all major events, that doesn’t appear to be in the cards.
