8. Carrying Kelly Kelly (Hell In A Cell 2011)

If ever there was an indication of Phoenix's greatness as an in-ring performer, it was her series of matches against Kelly Kelly in the fall of 2011. While the young Kelly was certainly improving with every passing week of her Divas Championship, she was far from a polished product.

Over the course of three months, Phoenix worked with Kelly to produce the best matches of the young star's career. She carried her through many of them, putting the right spots in the right places timing babyface comebacks to perfection.

At Hell in a Cell, after weeks of upset losses, Phoenix relieved Kelly of her Divas Championship. The title, the fourth of her acclaimed career, was a reward for her many accomplishments, her unselfishness inside the squared circle and her mastery of making others look far better than they actually were.
