3 Female WWE Superstars who want a shot at men's titles and 2 who already won one

#1 Beth Phoenix (wants a shot at a men's title)

One of the most dominant Divas in WWE history, Beth Phoenix has done it all. She was a major attraction in the Women's division during her six-year stint on the main roster. Back in 2012, Phoenix had an interview with WWE Magazine and stated that she would love to compete for the World Heavyweight title.

"Competing for the World Heavyweight Championship (the men's title). I have broken down many of the gender barriers in WWE and would love to have a fair chance to compete for it."

Phoenix left WWE in the same year but made her return to the ring in 2019 to team up with Natalya in a Fatal 4-Way match at WrestleMania 35. The duo failed to win the Women's Tag Team titles, with The IIconics bagging the gold when all was said and done.

Phoenix has won the Women's title on three occasions and has also won the Divas title once. She was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2017 for her contributions towards the business.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
