Prior to Beth Phoenix's entry into the 2010 Royal Rumble, only Chyna had set foot inside the squared circle for the annual 30-man extravaganza.

The Galamazon, as she had done numerous times throughout the course of her career, shattered expectations of what a woman of that era was capable of, entering the match at the No. 6 and heading straight for the seven-foot-tall Great Khali.

Phoenix used her womanly charms to goad Khali close to the ropes, planting a giant kiss on him. The distraction allowed her to use her incredible strength and pull the former world champion to the arena floor.

It was a moment in time that drew an enormous pop, as did her subsequent clothesline to the loudmouthed CM Punk. Though her stint came to an end at the hands of the Go To Sleep, Phoenix etched her name in the history books as one of three female stars to try her luck in a male-dominated contest.
