Brandi Rhodes recently made an announcement about her retirement and a new career path. In an Instagram post, she revealed to her fans that she is planning to become a yoga and pilates instructor, for which she even got training.

After her social media brawl with Rhea Ripley, fans were hoping to see her return, but that doesn’t seem likely now. It looks like even if she would have returned, then she would not have gone against Ripley, as the latter is not on her list of the top 10 people she wants to wrestle.

Top names from WWE and other promotions have made the list, but ‘The Eradicator’ is not one of them. The WWE Universe is asking if she is scared of ‘Mami’ or what?

She then asked her fans who they think would be most fun for her to wrestle with. In the post, she mentioned that she has never wrestled anyone of these female wrestling stars in the past despite wanting to get in the ring against them.

Surprisingly, ‘Mami’ was not on her list, considering the fact that she threatened to hit her a few weeks ago for insulting her husband. But fans really want her to fight with the reigning Women’s World Champion.

Fans bring Rhea Ripley into Brandi Rhodes list

Just a while ago, Brandi Rhodes, via Twitter, threatened to put Ripley in her place for slapping her husband Cody Rhodes on the face during Raw. Fans were hoping to see this online feud culminate into an on-screen rivalry. Therefore, ‘The Eradicator’ not being on her top 10 list made the fans go crazy online.

Let’s look at a few comments and see what they had to say.

Apart from this, ‘The Man’ is also a top pick. Mr. Rhodes and Seth Rollins have quite a history together. So them reigniting their rivalry and adding their wives into the feud is something that the fans are really interested to watch.
