Brandi Rhodes has been a very dedicated and ambitious person both on and off the screen. Her achievements have fallen short of credit and thus her journey in WWE is not hyped by many. A journalism master, Brandi received a great force in deciding to step up into the world of professional wrestling.
Back in 2021, Brandi Rhodes talked on the ‘Oral Sessions with Renee Paquette’ and revealed the reason she decided to step up in the world of professional wrestling. Brandi recalled the day when John Laurinaitis presented the opportunity to her. She was pursuing her master’s back then and asked if the opportunity had money. In addition to this, she put a thought on the opportunity that lay at her feet.
Brandi Rhodes went through an episode of SmackDown. Brandi said, “I saw the women and they had you know their cool stuff going on and there was nothing you know weird or you know I guess se*ist about it.” Later on, she was invited to Survivor Series among the audience. Other models, who WWE eyed, were also present among the crowd. The stage performances and the crowd reactions took Brandi Rhodes’ breath away and she felt that this is the only thing that she lacked in her life.
By the end of one episode of WWE, Brandi was convinced and said, “I really want to do this.” She tried her best to shine among the other models that were invited to the show. She went to the extent of telling a Brazilian model that wrestling made no money. Soon after this, she went to Laurinaitis and said, “Sign me up. I wanna do this now.”
Brandi Rhodes reveals the first impression she had of Cody Rhodes on screen
Cody Rhodes and Brandi Rhodes have quite an interesting love story. Brandi, in the same conversation, vividly recalls seeing Cody Rhodes for the first time on television. “There was a young Cody Rhodes on there with no knee pads, and he was dashing. I remember seeing him on that and being like, ‘Huh, that guy looks good,’” said Brandi Rhodes.

She also recalled the first time she went to the WWE show and got a glimpse of Cody Rhodes. Cody was quite disinterested in Brandi at first and owing to this, he didn’t even look at her. This act of his certainly made her sad. However, destiny had other plans and the couple finally got married in September 2013. Fast forward to the present time, Brandi, who will be at WrestleMania 39, is really proud of Cody’s appearance on the latest WrestleMania poster.
