[PHOTO]: Brandi Rhodes shows off fitness update, as rumors of her WWE in-ring debut continue to swirl
Brandi Rhodes continues to subtly fan the flames of rumors of a potential in-ring debut in WWE. The former Chief Brand Officer of AEW showed off her latest workout photo.
In her latest Instagram post, Rhodes showcased her impressive physique, adding a caption that alludes to "reinventing" herself:
"It's never too late to reinvent yourself...in every possible way. #strongmama" - Brandi Rhodes, Instagram
The post itself does not specifically mention wrestling. However, it's easy to see how speculative fans can come to the conclusion that this is yet another tease of Rhodes' potential in-ring return.
Speculation about Brandi Rhodes' return to wrestling and WWE debut has been circulating since her husband, Cody Rhodes, returned at WrestleMania 38. Things really picked up this summer when it was reported that Brandi had competed in a few matches at the WWE Performance Center.
An update from Fightful Select last month confirmed that while Rhodes was working out at the Performance Center, she is still a free agent.
Back in July, Brandi Rhodes spoke with Muscle & Fitness, where she claimed that she hasn't decided on which promotion she would like to return to. However, her goal is to compete inside the squared circle once again:
"I’m still training all of the time,” said Rhodes. “People can connect the dots and make of that what they will. I will tell you; I wouldn’t be training and getting beat up (laughs) just for the hell of it, so obviously I do plan to continue my in-ring career. When and where? That is yet to be seen but I hope when it does happen, everybody is happy and proud.” (H/T to Muscle & Fitness)
