Ariane Andrew on Brandi Rhodes Reaching Out for Her AEW Appearance

– Wrestlezone.com and Bill Pritchard recently interviewed former WWE Superstar Ariane Andrew, who discussed how her AEW appearance came about. Andrew recently competed in the Deadly Draw Women’s Tag Team Tournament and teamed with Nyla Rose. Below are some highlights.

Ariane Andrew on Brandi Rhodes reaching out to her: “Brandi [Rhodes] reached out to me; I’d say back in August I had reached out to her and she was like, ‘You know what? I will keep you in mind’ and then she was like ‘Remember when I said I would keep you in mind?’ It happened so quick, it was less than a week to get it together. I had no gear and I hadn’t been in the ring, so it was a lot but I did it! It was one of those types of things where it was not necessarily how I wanted to come back but I felt like AEW is such a great opportunity and me and Brandi go way back, I love what they are doing with the product so it was just like if this happens to be my last match, I think it will be fun—which it’s not going to be though, but at the time I thought if it happens to be.”

On her Double AAcademy fitness app: “I feel like life is about helping other people, creating opportunity. Me doing a fitness app is a way to connect with people to say health and wellness is super important because when you’re healthy, everything just flows correctly, and not just healthy physically but healthy mentally. I focus a lot on the mental aspect and how important that is, especially someone like myself who deals with mental health.”
