Cody Rhodes kicked off the latest episode of WWE SmackDown with a promo segment that saw him talk about his victory over Drew McIntyre at Saturday Night's Main Event XLI.

However, Cody was interrupted by Aleister Black and his wife, Zelina Vega. The real-life couple walked down to the ring and confronted The American Nightmare. It didn't stop there, as Vega stepped up to his face and slapped him. This prompted Nick Aldis to come out and schedule a match between Rhodes and Black for the main event.

Given this incident, fans are now suggesting that the Stamford-based promotion should book the return of Cody's wife, Brandi Rhodes, sooner than expected. Now, let's explore three reasons why this is the perfect time for WWE to bring back Brandi.

Is Triple H mad at John Cena? Check in details!

#3. To allow Brandi Rhodes to step back into the ring

Brandi Rhodes seemingly hung up her wrestling boots after she departed from AEW in 2022. She signed with WWE in 2011 as a ring announcer and wrestler, and at her request, was released at the end of the year.

After returning in 2013, Brandi finally left the Stamford-based promotion in 2016, just days after Cody Rhodes requested his release. That said, considering how deep WWE’s mixed tag team division is right now, many believe that this is the perfect time for the company to bring her back to the squared circle.

#2. To help Cody Rhodes against Aleister Black and Zelina Vega

Given the budding feud between Cody Rhodes and Aleister Black, alongside Zelina Vega, Brandi Rhodes perhaps needs to return to the Stamford-based promotion and put Vega in her place while Cody focuses on Black.

This could then set the stage for a mixed tag team match between the heel and babyface couple in the near future, similar to the showdown pitting Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch against CM Punk and AJ Lee at Wrestlepalooza.

Since the feud between the real-life couples was exciting to fans, the company should consider recreating the same storyline and have Brandi return to the Stamford-based promotion in the wake of Cody's rivalry with Black and his wife.

#1. Help with Cody Rhodes’ heel run in WWE

Aside from the abovementioned reasons, Brandi Rhodes could also help Cody Rhodes in his potential heel run in the Stamford-based promotion.

Many have speculated about The American Nightmare embracing a more sinister side after attacking Drew McIntyre with the Undisputed WWE Championship on an episode of SmackDown. However, WWE has yet to pull the trigger on the potential move.

Interestingly, having Brandi return to the company might allow Cody to finally embrace his dark side. If this happens, she could be a great help in his heel run, like she did in NJPW.
