10 Wrestlers Who No Longer Work For AEW

10. Brandi Rhodes

Brandi’s departure from AEW has been somewhat overshadowed by that of her husband, which if we’re being honest reflects the dynamic when they both still worked for Tony Khan’s promotion. This is despite attempts to position Brandi as a big deal both in and out of the ring.

AEW’s Chief Brand Officer may have done some important backstage business but in front of the cameras it’s been a series of disasters for Rhodes, her more recent appearances drawing even more ire than her husband’s. Her last appearance was one of AEW’s all time worst moments. The segment seemed to accidentally babyface Top Team’s head honcho Dan Lambert despite his misogynistic schtick. Rhodes playing up to the crowd’s antipathy didn’t help.

The Nightmare Collective was a mess, a teed up feud with Jade Cargill interrupted by pregnancy and now a programme with Paige Van Zant cut abruptly short by her sudden departure. Brandi hasn’t added much of note to her in=ring CV in the last three years.

Reports indicate WWE aren’t interested in picking Brandi up as a package deal with Cody, so it will be interesting to see what her next move will be.
