The American Nightmare is ready to pour a shot of conversation for WWE fans as his popular interview series makes its highly anticipated comeback.
Cody Rhodes’ Interview Series Set for Season 2 Launch
During this week’s Monday Night Raw broadcast, Michael Cole delivered news that has wrestling podcast enthusiasts marking their calendars. Season two of “What Do You Wanna Talk About?”—hosted by Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Cody Rhodes—will make its official return on Wednesday, May 28, 2025.
The announcement revealed that Rhodes will once again welcome various WWE superstars and legends to the interview table. But this time, there’s a spirited twist to the format. Each conversation will be accompanied by Wheatley American Vodka, a brand that has formed an official partnership with the champion.
Family Affair: Brandi Rhodes Takes the Hot Seat
In an intriguing choice for the season premiere, Cody’s wife and former wrestling personality Brandi Rhodes will serve as the inaugural guest. A preview clip from the upcoming episode has already been released, giving fans a taste of the candid conversation to come.
In the preview, Brandi opens up about her emotions during Cody’s monumental WWE return, revealing she felt “super excited” while simultaneously harboring concerns about how fans might react to her husband’s comeback.
“Finally, my friends. It’s Open Mic Night.”
Brandi’s cryptic tweet following the announcement suggests viewers might be in for some unfiltered revelations when the episode drops next week.
Brandi’s Limited WWE Appearances
Despite departing AEW alongside Cody in February 2022, Brandi has maintained a notably low profile in WWE. Her most significant appearance came during WrestleMania 40 in April 2024, where she was visibly part of Cody’s entrance for his championship showdown against Roman Reigns.
Following Cody’s career-defining victory to claim the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, Brandi joined her husband in the ring for an emotional celebration. This rare on-screen moment made her selection as the podcast’s first guest particularly meaningful for longtime followers of the Rhodes family journey.
Season One Retrospective
The debut season of “What Do You Wanna Talk About?” established itself as a must-watch for WWE enthusiasts after streaming on WWE’s YouTube channel throughout 2024. The inaugural run featured compelling conversations with an impressive roster of talent including R-Truth, LA Knight, Bayley, The Miz, Bianca Belair, and Randy Orton.
These episodes provided rare glimpses into the personalities behind the personas, with Rhodes demonstrating considerable skill as an interviewer who could connect with his peers on a deeper level.
A New Chapter Begins
With the championship gold around his waist and a vodka brand partnership enhancing the presentation, Rhodes’ interview series appears poised to deliver even more compelling content in its second season. The addition of Wheatley American Vodka to the format suggests a more relaxed, unfiltered conversation style might emerge.
Will Brandi’s appearance signal more involvement in WWE programming going forward? Could the champion’s conversations with fellow superstars reveal new insights into current storylines? Pour yourself a drink and tune in on May 28 to find out when “What Do You Wanna Talk About?” returns for what promises to be its most revealing season yet.
