Brandi Rhodes Says She’s Training Hard Towards AEW In-Ring Return

Brandi Rhodes has provided an update on her wrestling training, ahead of an AEW return.

Rhodes most recent match took place in October 2020. In June, Brandi and Cody Rhodes welcomed their first daughter, Liberty, into the world.

Speaking on Throwing Down with Renee Paquette and Misha Tate, Brandi explained that she is training hard towards a return. Wanting to be viewed as an ‘actual contender’ in the AEW women’s locker room, Brandi said:

“I’m back in the ring and been training hard. Probably a lot harder than people think. One thing that is funny, a lot of people have been critical of me in the past as far as in-ring work because they don’t know a lot about me and they just speculate. People just assume that ‘Brandi is Cody’s wife and he can just put her in whatever spot she wants to be in and she doesn’t have to work hard and she doesn’t train much.’

“Right now, I’m in the ring at least three days a week and in the gym seven days a week. I’m busting it as hard as I possibly can because I want to do well. I want to be an actual contender and myself, doing all the work, that makes me more confident that when I do get back in the ring, I know exactly what I’m doing and what I’m capable of. Hopefully, that translates and people will actually pay attention or watch.

“I’ve seen a lot of people lately saying how I’m taking time away from other women and stuff. That shows me you don’t watch. If that’s taking time away from women that shows that maybe we have one match a year and that’s a bigger problem. That’s not the case.”

Cody Rhodes recently deleted his Twitter account due to negativity he’s experienced on the platform. Cody’s comments on the matter were covered during today’s WrestleTalk News.
