Beth Phoenix, one of the most dominant female competitors in sports-entertainment, will take her rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame when she is inducted as part of the Class of 2017 during WrestleMania 33 Week. The news was first reported by USA Today.
Dubbed "The Glamazon" for her fusion of athleticism and style, Phoenix was also one of only three women ever to participate in the annual Royal Rumble, which she did in 2010. Other career highlights include the first women's "I Quit" match in WWE history (with Melina) and the first women's tag team tables match (teaming with Natalya against Michelle McCool and Layla).
In addition to tagging with Natalya, a pairing known as the "Divas of Doom," Phoenix had a nearly yearlong memorable run with Santino Marella in a couple known collectively as "Glamarella." Phoenix started her second run as WWE women's champion by getting a pinfall on Mickie James in an intergender tag team match at SummerSlam in 2008, which also earned Marella the Intercontinental championship.
Since retiring in late 2012, Phoenix has had two daughters, one in 2013 and another in 2016, with her husband Adam "Edge" Copeland.
