However, he feels that there is a long way to go before any other company beats WWE.

"It's always good to have competition. The WWE is always gonna be my home, but I wish much love and success to AEW, ROH, all these guys out there. Everybody is trying to make money and I wanna see them make money. Competition is always good and they can do whatever they want but they are not gonna beat WWE. You can believe that playa."

#5 Beth Phoenix reveals why she left WWE in 2012

Once upon a time, Beth Phoenix was unhappy with the direction in which the Women's division was headed

WWE Superstar and Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix is now an NXT commentator and she is enjoying her stint with the mic. In a recent interview with Sean Mooney, Phoenix talked about her responsibilities as a commentator and how she took criticism to improve her skills.

In the podcast, she also revealed why she had to leave WWE back in 2012.

"I was really frustrated with where the women were at from a company standpoint and the investment that was being made in us. I felt in my heart I had done my best, and I'd try really hard to change things but, at some point, I just got really frustrated.”

"Also, all the travel. I had been away from my family for a long time. We buried both my grandparents, my uncle passed away from cancer; I missed so many milestones in my family’s lives, that I just thought it was time to come home and be with them for a little bit and take a break from the road. And in that time, Adam's [Copeland] career as an actor was taking off, and I had just had the baby. I just took that supportive role at home, and I loved it. I loved being a stay-at-home mom. I followed wrestling, but I had just kind of made peace with, like, that was my career. I'm now a mom, and I'm going to find other things to do with my life."
