Man, no wonder Cody is so successful. Brandi is so comfortable taking care of the family with him on the road all the time and totally understands the entertainer mindset. That takes such a strong, loving human and I’m glad they found each other

[@rafaelorona1395]

I like that she’s very independent and likes to do her own thing while supporting her husband.

[@veryananduren8513]

The fact she felt relieved about *Cody* being hurt and not the baby 😄She's a mood

[@Coach0kay]

I enjoyed her in AEW a lot Her line in AEW “You may be a black belt but im a BLACK BITCH” was the most hardest line I’ve heard in wrestling ever lol

[@AmandaRogersarock1988]

Yeah like her wrestling was never stellar, but that promo was one of my promos of the year, lol. I couldn't even really hate her AEW run because the women's wrestling is so terrible. Like if there were amazing talents just not being used it would be a different story. But a super green Jade Cargill, Red Velvet, Bunny etc. Just terrible women's wrestling so at least she had some personality. I also enjoyed some of her Shot of Brandi content. Especially when I saw how much genuine love and respect she had for JR.

[@OreO2405]

First time I ever listen to an interview of her and she comes off as genuine and confident! Now she might be very good at interviews but she seems cool to me

[@ChiTownMade]

I think for sure she should come back to wwe. Have her be a manager/wrestler on screen alongside Cody. But also give a backstage role being involved as a creative director for the women's division and producer for the women's division.

[@CalSaurous]

Are you mad? She'll get Cody hated again because she's unbearable on the mic and in the ring. And why would you have her as a creative director for the women's division? Name one credential that would make her good.

[@favelafit20]

​@CalSaurous I wouldn't mind her as a manager. But only if they plan to turn Cody heel in the future. Pairing him up now as a babyface is just dumb.

[@togucvinw7]

If they ever do a remix of the Nightmare Factory/Familly (we already saw him bring the dog) in wwe maybe she could come as his manager. But I don’t think Cody will turn heel any time soon

[@j3nko037]

​@CalSaurous wouldn't mind her being his manager if he went heel

[@leir2005]

Brandy doesn’t need to be actively involved in the wrestling business. We all know who she is and she’s just fine playing the wife to Cody. She should bring back a shot of brandy though. It would be nice to see some WWE stars on there and possibly some AEW stars

[@Anand-xs9ii]

Her promo with Jade Cargill on Dynamite is still one of my favorite women's promo of all time 😅

[@SupermanHopkins]

Admittedly, I didn't see the two of them in AEW, but why did she get so much heat from fans? She seems like a great wife and a great woman to have in your corner, especially since she's a wrestler.

[@TheUltimateVoid]

She got heat because she didn't earn to be there, she got all these segments and moments just because she is Cody's wife and obviously fans didn't like that, in fact I don't think anyone like nepotism at all.

[@justinczech1489]

I only wish she's entertain the idea of bein Cody's manager for a short heel run or somthin, if she has the time. Yes she wasnt made for wrestlin in ring, but her heel work as manager was great

[@nelsonsamuelsanchez]

You have Brandi on and all that was asked was about her husband. Kinda not cool

We were at the premiere for a documentary about her husband's life and career, so considering the focus of the event and the evening it seems very appropriate.

Totally owned with that response.

I'm just going to say the true If someone hurt by the thing I will say I don't care but who said that she knows how to wrestlers it was good she is not even doing that anymore she was hurting AEW woman division I always change the channel went she was wrestling other womam is better for her to be a manager

Completely disagree with u on that one

[@stevemelnyk7480]

Some people are just natural heels who will always be hated by many more people than they are loved by and I think Brandi is one of those. I think The Miz in WWE also fits into that category. It's hard to put a finger on why but that's just the way it is.

[@roost3r]

@@stevemelnyk7480 You raise a good point.

aye man i wouldn’t mess with it either next thing you know the boy got red hair

[@FLStyle]

Off the top of my head, probably the worst wrestler to get as much TV time on Dynamite as she did. With multiple feuds and storylines no less. There was that weird tag team she did with Allie/The Bunny that revolved around Allie/The Bunny honeytrapping QT Marshall even though there's no women's tag team division and the story had no conclusion, the weird Nightmare Collective group that went no-where and the story had no conclusion and then she squabbled with Jade for a bit which was stopped in its tracks because that was when Brandi got pregnant.

[@WhiteCaneV1]

Is that on her? Or Tony Kahn

[@LFC01]

just summed up why i stopped watching AEW and wrestling altogether apart from WM & RR, the storylines go no where & they're shocking. Vince Russo was 💯 spot on about this in his interview with Chris
