It was reported last week by TMZ that Rhodes had signed with TNA as a Knockout. In the above video, Brandi speaks with TNA’s Josh Mathews about joining the company. She says that she has wanted to wrestle for some time, and is very excited to be a TNA Knockout. Brandi adds that she has always wanted to be in the ring, and that was her intent when she got into wrestling. She puts over the Knockouts division, and says TNA has always focused on their women. Brandi says there will be people that want her to succeed, and others that will only look at her as an announcer and want her to fail. She was a high level skater for 17 years and has an athletic background. As far as being a knockout, she has come to TNA to be the best and to win the Knockouts title.

A Dream Come True for the Knockouts
Nashville, TN (September 19, 2016)- Impact Wrestling is proud to announce the signing of Brandi Rhodes to their world-renowned Knockouts.

While there, Brandi accomplished success in the modeling industry, appearing in print ads and commercials for brands such as Zumba, Budweiser and Maxim Magazine.
While Brandi’s resume is decorated with accomplishments in broadcasting, she never forgot her passion for professional wrestling. “When the opportunity present itself for me to join one of the top wrestling companies in the world and become a Knockout, I was thrilled,” she said about her newest endeavor. Impact Wrestling certainly agrees. Company President, Billy Corgan provided, “this is a dynamic partnership. The Knockouts have always been on the forefront of Impact; leaders in evolution. We are thrilled to welcome Brandi Rhodes and provide her the worldwide platform she deserves as a Knockout.”
