Awesome / Beth Phoenix

  • Several, most notably entering the Royal Rumble and eliminating The Great Khali with a kiss, and wrestling CM Punk on a near equal footing.
  • Combined with Heartwarming Moment - Her induction into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2017, despite dominating her division in an era where, to be kind, Women's wrestling in WWE was not treated as a priority. Obviously, she was an amazing performer in her own right, but (whether intentional or not) many see the induction as a 'thank you' for being one of the main precursors to the much stronger Women's division that now exists half a decade after her retirement.
  • Her appearance in the first Women's Royal Rumble. On top of acknowledging that she was the only entrant to have previous experience in a Royal Rumble match, she faced off against the women's division's current Wrestling Monster, Nia Jax. The sight of those two glaring at each other was enough to spur the Philly crowd on into a "THIS IS AWESOME!" chant.
    • That night basically gave Beth a very unique accomplishment: being the first and only competitor to have entered both the men's and women's Royal Rumble matches. Given Chyna's passing and Kharma not being affiliated with the WWE anymore, she is likely to be the only individual to hold this distinction.note
