Note: She hasn't signed a deal according to Fightful Select.
But that's not going to stop it from being "Open Mic Night, bitch!" at the PC. Would rather watch her wrestle over watching a Lash or Nikkita match though.

I'd keep her away from WWE until they are ready to turn Cody heel.

I'm always hearing that she's "in training" & learning & studying forever, but she's almost 40. If she can bring anything to the table, it's not going to be in the ring.

If they want Cody to remain a top babyface, you don't bring her in.

If Becky can be a face while Rollins is a heel then this is also fine. Wouldn’t mind her being in the main roster.

Cody was most to blame for why the AEW fans turned on him but I don't think Brandi helped him at all.
Her last AEW appearance summed it up perfectly where she was supposed to cut a babyface promo and then get interrupted by the heels, but for some reason she decided to heel on the crowd before her promo and get the name of the city they were in wrong on purpose. There were months of confusing shit like that from her.
If Cody eventually turns heel then yeah bring her in as his valet, she's good at that.
She would be a detriment to onscreen babyface Cody though.

Brandi has been "training" on and off for years; didn't last a year in developmental in 2011, took it up again in 2016 when she and Cody left and was doing that right up until she got pregnant in 2020, and for those years of work, she hasn't had anything to show for it. Some people take a while to click with it and then run away later in their careers, but they're usually middling to fine workers who just finally connect the pieces, rather than below-below average workers who haven't shown any promise at any point. The green replacement they had take over for her in the Shaq match when she got pregnant has since learned to wrestle circles around Brandi, and for that matter so has the debuting-for-the-first-time-ever woman she was supposed to face.

The height of Brandi's in-ring career as far as wrestling goes is when she briefly teamed with the True Tribal Chief during AEW's pandemic era. And even then, the best I could say about her in-ring ability was "it was alright I guess."
She's been training for years and just never really improved much no matter where she worked: AEW, TNA, ROH, STARDOM, etc. She just isn't a good wrestler. She only really works as a valet/manager to Cody. And with her preference working heel in spite of it muddying Cody's face presentation in AEW, she's going to have to put some ego aside and work face unless Cody heel turns for some reason. As much as this is a new era of good feelings with Triple H holding the book, he's not going to do anything that just doesn't make sense at all because the talent wants to.

I really believe Brandi is a sweet, kind, wonderful lady who is a fantastic wife and a terrific mother.
Give her every YouTube show imaginable about all the above. Give her the Shot Of Brandi show back. Let her cook. I want more Rhodes To The Top. Let her interview friends and co-workers about being a woman in the business.
BUT... Keep her at least 2,500 feet away from any wrestling ring where cameras and microphones are present.

In AEW she had EVP power backstage but she isnt having that in WWE, the writers can help her in the promos so she doesnt say any dumb stuff like in AEW (Feud with Lambert)

Something about Brandi brings out the shittiest in wrestling fans sometimes. On that front, I dread it.
I will say that I think she's fine, and does add something to Cody's presentation when she's in his corner, but moreso when he's a heel or doing a grand PPV-style entrance.
