Brandi Rhodes Comments On Training At WWE Performance Center, Doesn’t Think She’ll Get The Itch Again

Brandi Rhodes will always be there for her husband Cody Rhodes, but she doesn’t see herself back in the ring in a full-time capacity.

Brandi Rhodes hasn’t competed in an official match since she defeated KiLynn King on the January 31, 2022 episode of AEW Dark: Elevation.

Brandi and Cody left AEW in February 2022, taking on new ventures and starting new chapters in their respective lives. Cody signed with WWE, returning at WrestleMania 38, while Brandi has focused on other projects, the most important one being a mom.

In August 2022, Fightful Select reported that Brandi took part in training match at the WWE Performance Center.

Speaking to Sean Ross Sapp on the red carpet for Cody Rhodes’ documentary “American Nightmare: Becoming Cody Rhodes,” Brandi discussed her training at the WWE PC.

“So yeah, we did a little trial to say, you know, how does this whole thing work with a baby and a bus and traveling, and Becky Lynch can do it. Well, let me just say, Guys, Becky Lynch can do anything. Brandi, however, kind of kind of threw in the towel after that. It was really fun. It was really great, but I could tell pretty quickly, it wasn’t going to work for this family to travel together and be on the road. I’ve got a little girl who’s extremely social and active and like was itching to start doing school and things like that. I was just like, ‘You know what? I was planning on throwing in the towel like a year from now anyway. So what’s one year, really?'” she commented.

When asked if she would get the itch to return to the ring, Brandi replied, “No, not in that capacity. I mean, of course, you know, I always joke and play around on social and stuff, saying things like, you know, ‘If Cody ever really needs me, I’ll be there,’ and that’s really just in that capacity. I mean, if Hunter [Triple H] ever needs Steph [Stephanie McMahon], I’m sure she’ll show up, but is she gonna go for the Women’s Title? Probably not.”

When it was noted that she could spear Paul Heyman at ringside, Brandi said, “Oof. I don’t know. I’ve been out of practice for a minute. That might hurt me more than it would hurt Paul.”

Brandi was ringside for WrestleMania 39 to watch Cody challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.

American Nightmare: Becoming Cody Rhodes premieres on Peacock on July 31.
