Cody and Brandi Rhodes are set to star in their very own reality TV show. Rhodes to the Top was announced on Wednesday's Dynamite in the form of a trailer that shows the AEW power couple's lives at home.
The show, which will debut on TNT, is said to be "unscripted," but it's going to take a lot of convincing to have us believe that.
AEW sent a press release to Wrestling Inc. which discloses episodes from the series will be 30 minutes long and take viewers behind the scenes with regards to Cody and Brandi's lives "as they navigate their growing family while building AEW's global wrestling empire."
The Rhodes family is due a new addition, with the couple announcing Brandi's pregnancy late last year.
“I’ve witnessed firsthand the passion and dedication that Cody and Brandi put into every facet of their life and know how much that plays an instrumental role in the success and expansion of AEW,” Sam Linsky, Co-Head of Scripted for TBS, TNT and truTV, said. “Now the world will get an inside look at how they balance their personal wrestling careers, their training center, and their executive roles at AEW as they venture into one of the most intimidating chapters of life, parenthood.”
The trailer does not include a premiere date but it's likely to make a start this year.
Tony's Excited For It Too
AEW president Tony Khan has also talked up the upcoming show while also reiterating plans to add a third hour of programming later this year.
“I’m thrilled to expand AEW’s relationship with WarnerMedia and TNT, and Rhodes To The Top will represent a new outlet in which our fans can further connect with characters they already love, and new viewers can discover these personalities for the first time,” Khan noted. “With our flagship show Dynamite and now Rhodes To The Top, in addition to our third hour of wrestling programming coming to TNT later this year, 2021 will be a historic year for AEW and our partnership with WarnerMedia.”
