Former WWE star opens new business in Roswell

ROSWELL, Ga. — Brandi Rhodes has worn many hats in her lifetime. She’s a former model, TV personality, competitive skater, and business executive. But she might be best known for her time in the world of wrestling and the WWE.

Now, you can add a new title to her resume - business owner.

“I was looking to just dive into a new career,” Rhodes told WSB-TV’s Nelson Hicks. “I had just had my daughter. She’s about two years old now. I was professional wrestling, had been in the industry for about 10 years and was determined to make that career work with a child. And it wasn’t working out.”

Rhodes recently opened Naked Mind Yoga + Pilates in Roswell. This new venture has enabled Rhodes to merge fitness, wellness, and mindfulness into a single space.

“After years of wear and tear from the wrestling industry, yoga and pilates is what healed my body and just brought me back to a place of just feeling really centered and feeling really good as a human being. So I really wanted to share that with someone.”

Her husband, wrestler Cody Rhodes, also known as the American Nightmare, attended the grand opening.

“Brandi, what she’s doing here, is really amazing and I know she really wanted to put this together, not just for yoga and pilates in the community, but also to have something for our daughter,” Cody Rhodes said.

“I’m just overwhelmed at how, not what we’ve built here, but her commitment to it.”
