Beth Phoenix addresses her current situation.
Last month, reports indicated that the contract of WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix had expired. Phoenix has now confirmed this development, stating that she is once again a part of the free agency market.
“I am not [signed to WWE anymore], I am currently a free agent,” Phoenix told Insight With Chris Van Vliet . “I have a great relationship with WWE, I treasured my time there. I feel like there’s more, there’s other opportunities that have presented themselves. I feel the motivation right now to kind of explore and explore what else is out there and explore myself. But my relationship with WWE hasn’t changed.”
“I have so many friends there and I appreciate and enjoy the product as I always have. I love NXT I have a special place in my heart for NXT, of course, and just the system, and seeing young people come up and go through that excitement of developing themselves for the big time. I love WWE, I always will.”
Phoenix first joined WWE in 2004, reporting to its then developmental territory of Ohio Valley Wrestling. From there, “The Glamazon” remained with WWE through 2012, before accepting her induction into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2017. Between 2018 and 2023, Phoenix made several appearances behind the commentary desk, both for the main roster and the NXT brand. She also returned to the ring for matches alongside Natalya, her husband Adam “Edge” Copeland, and a trio of Women’s Royal Rumbles.
Copeland departed WWE in 2023 and later joined All Elite Wrestling at the October 2023 WrestleDream pay-per-view.
