AEW Star Has No Plans To Be On TV For A While

AEW star and Chief Brand Officer Brandi Rhodes has revealed she has no plans to appear on TV throughout the period she is pregnant.

Rhodes did appear on Dark a couple of weeks ago but it sounds like that isn’t something she wants to do often.

Speaking on Renee Paquette’s Oral Sessions podcast, Rhodes said:

“It’s a wrestling show, so who wants to see a pregnant lady? There have been times when people have asked, ‘Do you want to be on commentary or be part of this?’ I wouldn’t want to see me on commentary because I’m not going to do anything. You know I’m not going to do anything. Someone can be in my face and there’s nothing I can do about it. It’s anti-climatic. I say no sometimes and then I get shoehorned into doing something. I’m trying to stay out of it. We were building to a match. I just had the singles match with Anna Jay and everyone said, ‘That was a really great match! We thought they were gonna suck!’ Yeah, we don’t suck guys, we work really hard. We were supposed to have a tag match with me and Red Velvet against Tay [Conti] and Anna. We were looking forward to it and were excited. We were going to plan aspects of that match and I was meeting Ricky [Starks] at the Nightmare Factory and it was that morning I found out I was pregnant. My doctor even said, ‘You should finish what you’re doing. It’s not going to hurt you.’ I was so minuscule pregnant that two doctors said it was fine. I could never live with it if something happened. I started acted like my knee was hurting.”

AEW had been building to Shaquille O’Neal and Jade Cargill vs Cody and Brandi Rhodes, but Brandi has been replaced by Red Velvet in the match set for March 3.
