Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix has addressed her wrestling future after leaving WWE and officially becoming a free agent.
Phoenix recently confirmed that she is now a free agent, marking the end of her most recent run with WWE.
With her husband Adam Copeland wrestling in AEW, some fans have speculated that we could soon see Phoenix wrestle for that promotion, or another promotion away from WWE.
Speaking with Chris Van Vliet, Beth Phoenix noted that she’s unsure whether she’ll have another match, stating:
“I don’t know. It’s really hard to say you’re retired. When I left in 2012, that was the word I threw around a lot, ‘I’m retired, I’m retired’, because I wanted to have a family and I knew for myself that wasn’t going to be in congruence to perform and to have kids. I needed to devote myself to the kids at that time.
“I give the age-old cliche answer that everybody hates, ‘Never say never’, but it really just depends on the opportunities and what suits our family. That’s really it. We weigh out everything, Adam’s opportunities too. I remember when Percy Jackson came on the table, and he was full-time in WWE, and it was really, really hard to take that on, but we weighed out everything.
“We sat as a family, and we made that decision. We’re like, this is huge. This is like the biggest acting opportunity that’s come our way and you need to go do this. This is massive. We talked about saying no to that.
“We talk about everything that comes our way as a family and does that serve us now? How does that affect the kids? How does it affect our marriage? That matters too.”
Phoenix last wrestled at the February 2023 Elimination Chamber premium live event, teaming with Copeland (fka Edge) to defeat Finn Balor & Rhea Ripley in mixed tag-team action.
