10 Most Shocking WWE Returns of 2018

#4 Beth Phoenix

Beth Phoenix returned as part of the first ever Women's Royal Rumble

It's been a fantastic year or the women of WWE with the likes of Michelle McCool, Kaitlyn, Torrie Wilson, Kelly Kelly, Maria Kanellis, Alundra Blayze and even Molly Holly making their returns to the ring this year, but one WWE Hall of Fame stood out amongst the rest.

Beth Phoenix was one of the names in the 2018 Women's Royal Rumble and she proved why she was one of the most feared female wrestlers in WWE history when she stepped into the ring at number 24 and stepped up to Nia Jax.

Phoenix's addition to the Women's Royal Rumble means that the WWE Hall of Famer now has the unique distinction of being the only woman in WWE history to have been part of a male and female Royal Rumble match. Phoenix later returned to add commentary to Evolution, even though she was originally expected to be part of the show.
