Brandi Rhodes Denies Being Reason Kylie Rae Left AEW

All Elite Wrestling’s Chief Branding Officer Brandi Rhodes recently refuted allegations making the rounds that she bullied Kylie Rae, ultimately leading to her departure from the company.

A fan responded to Rhodes’ tweet that AEW Founder Tony Khan had defeated Randy Orton in their social media war of words with a “TKO” by asking her about rumors linking her to Smiley Kiley leaving AEW.

Rhodes responded by tweeting:

“No. If that were true ‘literally everyone’ would be saying it in public.”

No. If that were true “literally everyone” would be saying it in public.

Smiley Kylie made her debut with Impact Wrestling in October, appearing at Bound for Glory in the “Call Your Shot Gauntlet” inter-gender match. That came after Rae gained her release from AEW following her match at Double Or Nothing in May.

At the time, Khan gave no reason for granting Rae her release. That’s led to a wide variety of rumors, including the one about Rhodes possibly being a part of the reason why.
