Brandi Rhodes: I'm Glad Tony Khan Took His Time With The AEW Women's Division

Tough in the early months

While All Elite Wrestling's women's division received criticism during the promotion's early months, the division has continued to grow with the company and has since become one of the highlights of Dynamite and Rampage with stars like Britt Baker, Jade Cargill, Kris Statlander and Thunder Rosa. 

Beyond her role as chief brand officer of AEW, Brandi Rhodes has featured in the women's division and she told Monsters and Critics Reality that she's glad AEW President Tony Khan took his time building up the division.

"I feel like a lot of people forget that I said in the beginning that it's going to take time. I think that people just wanted everything 'now, now, now.' When you look at it, the road to get here was a little bit bumpy, but something has to catch. Something has to start working for people in order for people to get on board. As much as we wish we could do what we want to do all the time, at the end of the day, we want to do what people want to see. So to just throw darts at a board forever is a terrible idea, in my opinion. I don't run the company. But I'm glad that Tony didn't do that. I'm glad that he did take his time and wait for stars to start to emerge and wait for the right women," Brandi said. 

"Like you said, Jade Cargill, I mean, the sky's the limit with Jade, but you have to take your time with it. You can't just throw Jade out there for a 30-minute match and see what happens. I can tell you what happens they didn't good. So we keep building in the direction that we're going now and I think we continue to cultivate fans."
