Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and his wife graced the fans with some phenomenal news amid the champions absence from TV. Brandi revealed that the two have welcomed their second child.
In 2021, Cody Rhodes and Brandi had their first child, named Liberty Iris Runnels. After the couple returned to the Stamford-based promotion, their daughter made several backstage appearances alongside her parents. The American Nightmare has been on a hiatus from the company, and the couple recently announced the birth of their second child.
In a tweet on X, Brandi welcomed Leilani Ella Runnels to the world. The former WWE announcer also shared a photo with her newborn. She
penned a heartfelt message, thanking God for answering the couples prayers.
The news came as a surprise to fans, and this further explains Rhodes absence from TV a week after winning the Undisputed WWE Championship at SummerSlam against John Cena. After the event, Drew MeIntyre brutally attacked The American Nightmare on Friday Night SmackDown.

Drew McIntyre started a feud with Cody Rhodes immediately after WWE
SummerSlam when The American Nightmare won the title from John
Cena. The Scottish Warrior Claymore-kicked Rhodes head into the announcers desk, and he hasn t appeared on the product since the spot.
However, reports have suggested that Rhodes will return to action next month for Wrestlepalooza and would most likely defend his title against
Drew MeIntyre at the event in Indianapolis. It’ll be interesting to see when
The American Nightmare returns to the promotion.
