#1. Current WWE Superstar Beth Phoenix
Beth Phoenix recently announced her departure from the commentary team on NXT, but has remained a WWE employee since she could now be added to RAW.
Phoenix is a WWE Hall of Famer who retired from the company in 2012 before the Women's Championship was brought back. The star is currently the only woman employed by the company at present to have held the original Women's Championship, but she was also a holder of the Divas title.
Phoenix won the Championship in October 2011 at Hell in a Cell and was able to then hold the title for 204 days before she was defeated by Nikki Bella in a Lumberjil match on RAW in 2012.
This loss came just months before Phoenix requested her release from the company in order to spend more time with her family. The star has since returned several times to be part of the Women's Revolution and even reunited with Natalya back in 2019 to challenge for the Women's Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania.
