A former AEW star has shared a cryptic message on social media.

Brandi Rhodes recently took to X and published a post alluding to difficulties she faced with certain individuals in her wrestling career. Rhodes formerly worked as a ring announcer in WWE until her departure from the company in 2016.

The Dream of Nightmares appeared in independent promotions as well as established ones after her exit from WWE, including TNA, ROH, and Stardom. In 2019, Rhodes joined her husband, Cody Rhodes, and signed with AEW. The 40-year-old worked with a number of prominent names in the Jacksonville-based promotion, including Willow Nightingale, Anna Jay, and former Women's World Champion Hikaru Shida.

After a brief program with Dan Lambert and Paige VanZant of the American Top Team, Brandi Rhodes left AEW along with Cody Rhodes in February 2022. In her recent post on X, the Michigan-born talent shared her comments regarding some of her peers in the industry:

"There were a handful of legit idiots who made my time in wrestling harder than it needed to be. But when I hear of the cold dishes of karma they've been served, it gives me absolutely no pleasure. (This was me giving my daughter an example of what a bold faced lie is)." - wrote Brandi Rhodes.
