Brandi Rhodes

A trailblazer across multiple promotions, Brandi Rhodes broke ground as the first African-American woman to announce at WrestleMania — doing so at WrestleMania 31 under her Eden Stiles persona — and later became the first woman of color to compete at NJPW's Wrestle Kingdom in 2018. As AEW's inaugural Chief Brand Officer, she added another historic first as the first African-American woman to hold an executive position in a major North American wrestling promotion, while also competing in-ring alongside her husband Cody Rhodes.

Retired since departing AEW on February 15, 2022, Brandi's last televised match was against KiLynn King on AEW Dark: Elevation in January 2022. She was prominently featured at WrestleMania XL in April 2024, accompanying Cody to the ring and celebrating his Undisputed WWE Championship win over Roman Reigns. As of June 2026, Cody has confirmed there are "semi-serious talks" about bringing her back to WWE for sporadic appearances, while a new reality series titled All Rhodes was also reported in April 2026.
