Brandi Rhodes on Bullet Club, ROH’s Women’s Tournament, & WAGS: Atlanta

Sports Illustrated held a recent interview with Brandi Rhodes discussing working with the Bullet Club, ROH’s Women of Honor Tournament, and being involved with the WAGS: Atlanta reality show.

On the topic of working with the Bullet Club, Brandi felt glad to fit well with the group and feels they still have potential for more greatness as a group.

“I’ve been fortunate to mesh so well with Cody’s friends in the Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, and Adam Page. The sky is the limit for those guys, and I’m there to support in any way I can.”

On the topic of ROH’s Women of Honor Tournament, Brandi felt very honored to be included in this historic tournament to crown the company’s first ever Women’s champion.

“Being a part of the Women of Honor championship tournament is historical. The thought that I could be the first-ever Women of Honor champion is just surreal. I’m honored to be a part of this elite group of women, and I will be fighting with everything that I have to be the woman that comes out on top.”

On the topic of being involved with the WAGS: Atlanta reality show, Brandi felt her lack of “southern roots” and being involved in the wrestling industry helps her stand out from the other cast members on the show. She also feels being more of an independent woman also helps her stand out more on the show.

“I’m not from the south, I am from Michigan, and Atlanta is very engrained in its southern roots. Many of the wealthy women cater to their men. Here I am, ‘Big Dreams’ Brandi, I don’t have kids, and I want to wrestle. I don’t have kids. I have a very different life than all of these other women. Their lifestyles and expectations are very different than mine. One of the women told me that her life is all about taking care of everything so her husband can just focus on pitching. That is not my life. I don’t just make sure Cody wrestles, I make sure he wrestles, takes care of the dogs, pays his bills, and that’s along with everything else, because that’s the way I grew up. Me fitting into this dynamic of Southern Belle is funny. Some of the women can’t believe I wrestle. I tell them it’s not because I have to, it’s because I want to.”
