As noted, TNA confirmed earlier today that Brandi Rhodes, formerly Eden Stiles in WWE, has signed with Impact Wrestling and will compete in the Knockouts division.
TNA has released the video below, during which Rhodes talks about signing with TNA, and she confirms she will be wrestling in the Knockouts division. Rhodes says she’s happy finally to be competing in the ring, as it’s something she always wanted to do. She admits it was difficult for her to sit at ringside in the past knowing she could “beat someone up” but never got the chance to.
She said she understands people might be skeptical about her in-ring ability, but she said she has a very athletic background and she intends to change the mind of doubters and surprise people with her ability in the ring. She praised TNA for always supporting the women in wrestling, and specifically named women like Gail Kim, Jade and Madison Rayne as strong female talents.
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
