A rim shop told me that it wouldn't.
But I remember reading somewhere (probably on some automotive forum), that every time the metal on a rim is impacted, whether from a pot hole, or to be straightened, microscopic cracks are made, making that spot weaker. It makes sense to me.
If it's a small bend, the odds of having an impact on the same spot is probably pretty slim, but significant damage might be a reason to replace a rim instead of having it repaired.
