18 Women who made a difference for Women's Wrestling in WWE

#10 Beth Phoenix

Beth Phoenix

Beth Phoenix was the standout WWE Woman in the late 2000s. She is a former Women's and Divas Champion, and the youngest Hall of Famer. Famously, she even entered the men's Royal Rumble match, eliminating The Great Khali. She was a clear cut above everyone in the WWE roster during her stay. But, fighting alongside Natalya for the Women's Tag Team Championship would surely be a moment she'd savor.

Beth Phoenix was powerful and dominant. She never really begged for the spotlight, but her talent always brought it on her. She was not like the women WWE spotlighted then, but she struggled her way to the top. She was the badass woman much before the Women's Revolution took place. In an interview, she said:

"I feel so proud and so happy that if in any tiny way I can contribute to the world being a more girl-power friendly place," Phoenix said. "I'm so grateful for that, and I hope that I represent enough so that the world my daughter grows up in is more accepting and more willing for girls that want to get out there and kick booty and not feel held back by their gender."

She broke stereotypes and paved the way for this change to take place.
