WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix has recently been a commentator for NXT 2.0

On December 2, 2021, WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix announced that she would be stepping away from the broadcast table on NXT 2.0. After over three years of calling the action for the brand, she announced that she wanted to spend more time with her family.

Beth Phoenix currently has two children, and is of course married to fellow WWE Hall of Famer, Edge. The Rated-R Superstar has somewhat of a part-time schedule with WWE, meaning there is certainly plenty of family time to be had.

Does this mean she's closing the door for good in WWE? Well, as they say in professional wrestling, never say never, because there may be a different avenue Beth wants to travel down, even if it is just on a short-term basis.

That being said, let's take a look at five directions for Beth Phoenix in WWE now that she has left the broadcast booth on NXT, in no particular order.


#5 Beth Phoenix could be inserted into the Edge/The Miz rivalry on WWE RAW

A couple of weeks ago on WWE RAW, Edge made his return for the first time since the Crown Jewel pay-per-view in October. The Rated R Superstar defeated Seth Rollins at the event inside Hell in a Cell to wrap-up their enthralling feud.

He came out to the ring to set out his stall as to what was to come next for him, and listed off a plethora of opponents he could face. However, he was immediately interrupted by The Miz, who was returning from a stint on Dancing with the Stars in the USA.

The Miz was surprisingly accompanied by his wife Maryse, and he and Edge had a back-and-forth on the microphone, both laying insults to each other. The challenge was set by Edge for a match, but Miz declined, but he did eventually accept it the following week on an episode of Miz TV.

It is being speculated that Maryse is back to aid the promotion of the new Miz & Mris reality show. Her appearance would also normally indicate that she is due to be involved with a particular storyline in some fashion. She may interfere at Day 1 costing Edge, but he could bring Beth back into the mix to even up the odds down the line.

Edge & Beth Phoenix vs. The Miz & Maryse, anyone? The match could certainly make it this year on the WrestleMania card.

#4 Beth Phoenix could make an appearance in the Women's Royal Rumble

The Royal Rumble pay-per-view is fast approaching and Beth Phoenix's name can now be considered. Of course, the Women's Royal Rumble will provide us with some surprises, so why not The Glamazon?

It could be one last, big moment for the veteran superstar, who could head off into the sunset following the conclusion. Plus, she will be able to take on some of those superstars she's been analyzing at the announcers' table for the last few years. It's a win-win.


#3 Beth Phoenix could ultimately announce her retirement from the ring

Beth Phoenix was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2017, but is still competing following the induction. Maybe she will feel now is the time to close the curtain on her in-ring days.

There could even be a mini-retirement ceremony for The Glamazon, maybe on RAW to fill those three-hours. It'd give one of the best female superstars of her generation a fitting tribute to end her career.

#2 Beth Phoenix could once again team with Natalya one last time

The last time we saw Beth Phoenix and Natalya team up together on television was at WrestleMania 35. The team competed in a Fatal 4 Way match for the WWE Women's Tag Titles, which was won by The IIconics.

The women's tag team division could do with another team, so why not one last run for Beth and Natalya leading into the WrestleMania season? It could be The Glamazon's last run before calling it a day.


#1 Beth Phoenix could challenge for the RAW or SmackDown Women's Title

She's a one-time Divas Champion and a three-time WWE Women's Champion, but she has never won either the RAW or SmackDown Women's Championships. Could winning one of those titles be the final chapter Beth is looking for?

Imagine Charlotte Flair vs. Beth Phoenix or Becky Lynch vs. Beth Phoenix. Legend and Hall of Famer vs. The modern day all-time greats.

They would certainly be WrestleMania worthy, and would no doubt peak the WWE Universe's interest.
