How did former WWE star Brandi Rhodes announce her retirement?

Brandi Rhodes announced her retirement during a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet.

She revealed that she had quietly retired from in-ring competition and put her family first. Rhodes said:

"You know, not as an active competitor. For sure. [You've retired as a wrestler?] Yeah, I mean, it was really anticlimactic. But yes, I did. I just said you know what? Okay, well, we are either gonna do this the Becky Lynch, Seth Rollins way. And they are amazing for doing it, because I can't. It just was too hard, well not too hard, but just something that I just didn't think would be the best for the family."

Brandi further mentioned that she and Cody Rhodes chose to go on separate professional paths while she is fully focused on her ventures outside of wrestling.

"So, you know, we've gone a different route, and I've started business ventures on my own and he's doing his thing and we're just doing a couple of different things."

Cody and his wife Brandi left WWE in 2016 and competed on the independent circuit. They stuck together over the course of The American Nightmare's journey through NJPW, ROH, and AEW.
