Brandi is utterly insufferable, and was not a hard cut form WWE from what was floating around at the time. She was despised backstage at AEW by the time she and Cody were let go. The fact that she made one appearance, and at Mania where the top guys have a freer hand in their entrances, really says it all. Nobody in the business wants her there, and she was only as important in early AEW as she was because Cody had the stroke as EVP to push for her to be indulged that way.
Things like the gender reveal party being a segment on Dynamite were a big part of why nobody shed a tear when those two morons left AEW.
I still laugh when I think about Malakai Black getting a standing ovation for beating up Arn Anderson after verbally eviscerating Cody in a promo, and Dan Lambert getting massive pops every time he called Brandi a whore in his promos. Heels are supposed to be partially correct, but when the faces are such utterly deplorable douchebags that the heels are 100% right in their insults, they can't be faces anymore. Cody is too stupid to see that and even fought to stay babyface when the whole front row was turning their backs on him, his shirts and weight belts were getting thrown back from the crowd, and he wasn't even getting X-Pac heat by the end of his AEW tenure.
