Major Update On Brandi Rhodes' Post-AEW Future
The latest on Brandi Rhodes following her and Cody's AEW departure in February.
Brandi Rhodes' first big move since leaving All Elite Wrestling in February has just been confirmed.
Per Deadline, the former AEW Chief Brand Officer is partnering with DIGA Studios to bring her Shot of Brandi cooking series from YouTube to television. 30-minute episodes are to be expected, though the formula (Rhodes cooking and chatting with a variety of different guests) sounds like it'll stay largely the same.
Shot of Brandi originally aired on AEW's YouTube channel, though it understandably ceased when Brandi and husband Cody left the Tony Khan-helmed promotion last month. A typical episode would see an AEW wrestler or one of the promotion's other personalities joining Rhodes in the kitchen. Now, Deadline states that the guests will be "celebrities in and out of the wrestling ring."
DIGA Studios is helmed by former MTV producer Tony DiSanto, who has previously worked on truTV's Hot Ones: The Game Show, which is similar in format to Shot of Brandi.
Rhodes commented:-
“I started shooting this show in my kitchen four years ago with two iPhone cameras and a cocktail. I am excited to see the show evolve and thankful for the fans who have followed along. I assure you, now that I’m working with DIGA the best is yet to come.”
Although Cody is believed to have re-signed with WWE ahead of a WrestleMania 38 return, it was reported in February that Brandi would not be joining him in going back to the market leaders. She had previously worked for the promotion as Eden Styles briefly in 2011 then again between 2013 and 2016.
