Beth Phoenix Reveals Tribute Behind Her Unique Elimination Chamber Look

WWE witnessed an exhilarating night this weekend at the Elimination Chamber premium live event. The show proved to be an exciting one and was the final stop on the road to WrestleMania 39. WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix was herself involved in a highly anticipated tag team match, for which the Glamazon cultivated an iconic look paying tribute to a past legend.

The Glamazon and her husband Edge competed against Finn Balor and Rhea Ripley from Judgment Day in a mixed tag team match at the Premium Live Event. The Rated-R Superstar nailed Balor with spear to win the bout for Edge and Beth Phoenix, despite Dominik Mysterio’s interference.

“Bull Nakano broke international barriers to bring the beauty and brutality of Japanese women’s wrestling to America. We will always remember you because you’ll always be a part of us. @wwe”

Edge is currently scheduled to battle Austin Theory for the WWE United States Championship on this week’s RAW. However, it is unknown at the moment what Beth Phoenix’s role would be on the road to WrestleMania 39 as the Show of Show rapidly approaches.
