Cody has established himself as a prominent wrestler of the contemporary wrestling era with his hard work, dedication, and wrestling prowess. He has rebuilt his legacy from scratch and has become one of the most prominent figures in the WWE in contemporary times. And, as there is a saying that behind every successful man there is a woman. Similarly, behind Cody Rhodes’ WWE success, his wife Brandi Rhodes has played a huge role. From his worst days to his WWE Championship, Brandi has stayed rock solid as his supporter and biggest cheerleader throughout his career. Let’s take a look at their untold story and how the couple has stood by each other in all their success and adversities in life.How Brandi Rhodes became Cody Rhodes’ biggest supporter when he was struggling with WWECody Rhodes began his WWE journey in 2007, while Brandi Rhodes was also associated with the company as a manager, ring announcer, and backstage interviewer. Cody Rhodes had been with WWE since 2006. At one point, WWE gave him the Stardust character, a colorful and unusual gimmick. He worked very hard to make the character successful, but it never became as popular as he had hoped. He felt stuck playing a role that wasn't leading anywhere. Similarly, Brandi also worked as a ring announcer at the time; she was also having a tough time. As the struggle continued, Cody was granted his WWE release in May 2016, and Brandi would do the same a few days later, as she wanted to be a professional wrestler and had never intended to build a career as a ring announcer. By leaving WWE on their own terms in 2016, Cody and Brandi took a bet and a significant risk, believing greater opportunities awaited them outside the company. Although they were confident in their decision, they admitted that stepping away from WWE and starting over was not an easy choice, but it brought opportunities to them which ultimately built their hold over WWE. Not only Brandi, in fact, Cody Rhodes also helped his wife with her in-ring training with a handful of matches with IMPACT Wrestling during 2016-2017, setting examples of couple goals. With the couple’s joint effort, they worked hard outside WWE and eventually helped launch AEW before later returning to WWE, ultimately returning to success with Ring of Honor, winning the first world championship.How did Cody Rhodes and Brandi Rhodes meet?Cody Rhodes and Brandi Rhodes met during their wrestling years, and Cody met her with the help of his father.
