Beth Phoenix finished her time with WWE after her contract expired last year, and she was not offered a new deal or a legends contract. With her departure, there has been growing speculation that she might make her debut in AEW. Adam Copeland has now addressed whether fans should expect to see his wife in AEW in the future.
While speaking to TV Insider, Adam Copeland was asked if his wife Beth Phoenix might step into the ring to face Marina Shafir, as it was noted that some fans think it would make the story more exciting.
Copeland said it’s possible but depends on the right situation. Instead, AEW chose to involve Willow Nightingale since she is already on the roster and has a great connection with fans. He also mentioned that Beth has a busy schedule, so it would be hard for both of them to be traveling at the same time.
“You never know. I don’t think she has completely closed the door on it if the situation fits. I think where we were at, I think getting Willow [Nightingale] involved was good. Someone who was already on our roster, and I feel is just such a natural babyface and has such good energy. I thought she would be really cool to implement her into the story. Why not use someone who was already on the roster? Beth is also pretty busy. She has a pretty busy life, so it becomes more a family issue and how do we pull it off if we’re both outgoing.”
Britt Baker made it clear that she wants to see Beth Phoenix in AEW as well, as it’s quite clear that quite a few people feel Beth Phoenix will be a solid addition to the AEW roster, especially working with Adam Copeland.
As AEW’s women’s division keeps growing, the idea of Beth Phoenix stepping into the ring is exciting for fans. While nothing is confirmed, her experience and legacy in wrestling make her a valuable potential addition.
