On a recent edition of the “Ring the Belle” podcast, Brandi Rhodes revealed how she began ring announcing on a whim in WWE.
Brandi and Cody Rhodes left AEW for WWE last year.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On wanting to try ring announcing: “I poked somebody and was like, ‘What’s ring announcing?’ They were like, ‘Oh, it’s really annoying — you have to get into the ring and it’s really nerve-wracking; you have to remember all these things.’ I was like, ‘I’d like to try it.’
On getting called to do ring announcing for RAW: “I got called up on the road two weeks after that, so I was in FCW for I think a month. And then I got called up on the road and I was fully announcing. When I got called to TV, it was a RAW. I had no idea what I was going to be doing, because I had been working there so short. I was like, ‘Please, God — don’t be wrestling,’ because I barely knew how to take a bump.”
