What if Kharma hadn't gotten pregnant?

#3 Beth Phoenix: Monster Slayer

Beth Phoenix would have been an ideal challenger to Kharma.

Conspicuous by her absence from Kharma’s early attacks was Beth Phoenix. The Glamazon was still working heel but seemed to exist in a different dimension from the new monster. While no credible source has spelled out WWE’s plans, it’s heavily rumored that Phoenix was intended as an opponent for Kharma down the road, after a face turn.

Booking Phoenix against Kharma could have made good sense. Phoenix was a powerhouse and a well respected veteran—all considered, one of the few women who could believably stand up to Kharma, not to mention that the two of them probably could have had some great matches.

As reality actually played out, Phoenix spent much of the months to follow feuding with Kelly. Her partnership with Natalya as a pair of dominant heels who bullied Divas may well have represented a similar concept to what WWE had originally intended for Kharma’s initial run.
