Brandi Rhodes looks back on the first major AEW Heels community gathering.
It's been a rough couple of days for Brandi Rhodes, recent criticisms of the women's division of All Elite Wrestling resulted in Brandi Rhodes deactivating her Twitter account and on Friday, August 7th, 2020, Brandi hosted the first official gathering of AEW Heels, the female fan club for AEW. There had been a couple of meetings prior but this was the first meeting since the announcement of the membership fee and more details regarding what the membership would include.
In addition to the criticisms of the women's division, Brandy faced a lot of criticism on social media for the $50 membership fee for AEW Heels. Rhodes had announced that Heels would also feature seminars and provide helpful information on brand expansion and overall workplace safety.
Brandi Rhodes remains on Instagram and shared in a recent post her positive experience with the first AEW Heels outing.
AEW Heels was a massive success last night. We exceeded the number of membership sign ups necessary to continue to move the fan club onward and upward. Thank you to every single person that joined last night, and those with memberships that were unable to make it. The best is yet to come! Our call last night allowed users to browse the full capabilities of this website community offering members a dashboard with profiles where they can post pictures, bios, and send and receive private messages, if desired. The Posts section was overwhelmed with chatter about the event with members connecting on various aspects of the zoom session.
Members were able to see new exclusive merch items, made aware of pre-order exclusives only for Heels members AND learned about an upcoming contest with an enticing giveaway (of a highly coveted item that people are scurrying to find). They saw firsthand the ease they will have in attending future events (both virtual, and live when it is safe to do so again). The live chat was an absolute party with both members and AEW women chatting it up all night. Keisha-Ann gave an amazing talk on current topics that I personally learned a lot from, and I know others feel the same. The Q&A was lively and enlightening. The biggest takeaway is that people were happy. Countless posts have been created letting the world know they felt they got more than their money’s worth. That is the whole point. Heels promised a positive space to be yourself, share more, make connections, enjoy exclusive offerings, partake in exclusive events and connect with AEW women from the roster to the executive team...and it delivered. Looking forward to more Heels events to come. Members...keep your eyes peeled for #lilbranbran and her next announcement...which will be on the webpage...for members only!
It remains to be seen whether or not Brandi Rhodes will return to Twitter. Twitter allows you after 30 days of deactivation before it completely deletes your data.
