10 Fascinating WWE Survivor Series 2008 Facts

10. Beth Phoenix Was Responsible For A Surprising Survivor Series First

The Raw women did battle with their SmackDown counterparts in what was only the third women's elimination match in Survivor Series history. In the end, it was Beth Phoenix who clinched the match for the Raw contingent, pinning Maryse after the Glam Slam.

Though it was, as mentioned, merely the third women's elimination match in Survivor Series history, it's notable that Beth Phoenix became the first non-Japanese-born woman to survive at the event.

In the prior two examples, the 1987 women's match was survived by The Jumping Bomb Angels, Noriyo Tateno and Itsuzki Yamazaki. The second women's match took place in 1995, featuring representation from the All-Japan Women's promotion, and that was survived by fearsome bruiser Aja Kong. For what it's worth, Chyna did take part in an elimination match at the 2000 show, but was not victorious. All the other women mulit-person matches were worked under single-fall rules.
