Brandi Rhodes recently spoke with Justin Barrasso for Sports Illustrated while promoting the premiere of WAGS Atlanta; you can read a few highlights below:
Brandi comments on being in the Women Of Honor Championship tournament:
“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.”
Brandi comments on what fans can expect to see with her relationship with Cody on WAGS:
“People know I take good bikini pictures, but I also want them to get to know who I am. You’ll also see why my marriage with Cody works so well. We’re natural with each other. He trusts me and doesn’t micromanage me, and I trust him. Working together is not work for us.”
Rhodes comments on how she is different from the rest of the WAGS cast:
“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.”
