Beth Phoenix returned to WWE in 2007, a year after suffering a broken jaw that halted her first run on the main roster. A physical and intimidating presence, it did not take her long to tear through the women's division on Raw and set her sights on Candice Michelle's Women's Championship.

After a fluke upset at Unforgiven, the GoDaddy.com commercial star ran into a buzzsaw in the form of Phoenix, who put an end to her reign with a fisherman's buster at the 2007 No Mercy pay-per-view in Chicago.

It was the first of many championship victories for The Glamazon on the grand stage of WWE but one that would firmly establish her as the leader of a new brand of competitor, one who combined beauty with raw athleticism and wrestling ability second-to-none.
