Phoenix showcased her powerful physique during her successful six years with WWE, putting opponents away with her trademarked Glam Slam. The self-proclaimed “Glamazon” was a four-time champion, and in 2010 she became just the second woman to enter the Royal Rumble and even eliminated the Giant Khali.

“To hear they find my career was worthy enough and that I did well enough in the ring to be honored among the greatest of all time was incredible and the biggest compliment I could ever ask for. It’s still sinking in and is very surreal,” Phoenix told USA Today.
She retired from WWE in 2012 and started the next chapter of her life — as a mother. She married former WWE Superstar Edge — Adam Copeland — and together they have two children. They are also the only husband and wife to both be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
The WWE Hall of Fame ceremony will take place March 31 at the Amway Center in Orlando, Fla., as part of the weeklong festivities leading up to WrestleMania 33.
