#3. WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix pinned Santino Marella

WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix and former Intercontinental and United States Champion Santino Marella have a long history. In 2008, they became an on-television power couple and named themselves Glamarella.

Their alliance lasted for over six months before the two stars split up. Both of them later feuded with each other for a few weeks too.

On the July 14, 2008, episode of Monday Night RAW, Santino Marella issued an open challenge, which Phoenix answered.

Surprisingly, The Glamazon made quick work of the former Intercontinental Champion and beat him via pinfall in less than 85 seconds.

Santino Marella and Beth Phoenix shared the WWE ring for the last time during the 2020 Women's Royal Rumble match. He entered the Rumble dressed as Santina and came to a face-off with The Glamazon and Natalya.

Intimidated by the two ladies, Santino eliminated himself by using his Cobra move.
