Brandi Rhodes may be ready to get back into business after leaving All Elite Wrestling with her husband, Cody Rhodes. Brandi was a big player during her time with Tony Khan’s company. Rhodes served as the chief brand officer for AEW as well as an in-ring performer.
Rhodes launched her cooking-themed YouTube talk show, “A Shot of Brandi” back in 2018. The show continued as a web project under the AEW banner. Brandi Rhodes may be looking to get back into the game, as she recently filed for trademark protection for the title.
Brandi also filed for a trademark on her ring name. Brandi’s legal name is “Brandi Runnels,” despite Cody’s famous stage moniker. That filing means that Rhodes could be looking to start selling merchandise. The description for each trademark reads as follows:
“Shot Of Brandi: Entertainment in the nature of wrestling contests; Entertainment services in the nature of an ongoing reality based television program; Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibits and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer; Entertainment services, namely, an ongoing series featuring a professional wrestler, sports entertainer, actress, and celebrity provided through cable television, radio, streaming platforms, or the internet; Entertainment services, namely, production and distribution of ongoing television programs in the field of professional wrestling, popular culture, reality programming, or cooking; Entertainment services, namely, providing ongoing television programs in the field of professional wrestling, popular culture, reality programming, or cooking via a global computer network; Entertainment services, namely, providing ongoing webisodes featuring professional wrestling, popular culture, or cooking via a global computer network; Entertainment services, namely, providing video podcasts in the field of professional wrestling, popular culture, or cooking; Providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network; Providing online interviews featuring professional wrestler, sports entertainer, actress, and celebrity in the field of professional wrestling, popular culture, or cooking for entertainment purposes.
