Brandi Rhodes Denies Royal Rumble Return Rumors

Brandi Rhodes, the wife of WWE superstar Cody Rhodes and a former wrestler herself, has firmly dismissed speculation about a surprise appearance at this year's Women's Royal Rumble match, set for January 31 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In a recent episode of her podcast, "A Shot of Brandi," Rhodes shared her thoughts on a potential return to the ring during a candid conversation with WWE wrestler Maxxine Dupri, emphasizing that any comeback would be a brief, family-focused moment rather than a full resurgence.

Rhodes, who has not competed in a televised match since facing KiLynn King on an episode of AEW Dark Elevation in January 2022, addressed the rumors head-on. She participated in a single untelevised bout at WWE's Performance Center later that year but has since stepped away from in-ring action. Now 41, Rhodes has channeled her energy into ventures outside wrestling, including running a yoga studio, launching the beverage brand Pinkertons, and working as a media personality and producer. She continues to support her husband's high-profile career in WWE, notably appearing during his entrance at WrestleMania 40 last year.

During the podcast, Dupri discussed her own aspirations...
