Why Cody Rhodes is Unable to Use His Name in TNA But His Wife Can Use Brandi Rhodes
According to The Wrestling Observer, Cody Rhodes will not be able to use the “Cody Rhodes” name in TNA as Impact Wrestling is a televised product, however his wife Brandi Rhodes will be able to use the name.
The reason for the above is because Cody used the name Cody Rhodes on WWE TV, however Brandi never used either the name Brandi or Rhodes on WWE TV. Brandi went by the name Eden Stiles in WWE, therefore WWE has no ownership of the Brandi Rhodes name.
Dave Meltzer added, however, that Cody and Brandi might be able to get away with Cody using the last name during joint announcements or mixed tag matches, and they can be announced as “Cody and Brandi Rhodes.”
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.
