10 Things You Need To Know About Beth Phoenix
3. She's The Longest-Reigning Women's Champion Since Trish Stratus
Obviously, Beth Phoenix's main successes came in the women's division, and while she was a dominant force there, odds are that many of today's fans have forgotten just how dominant she was.
Phoenix's three reigns as WWE Women's Champion and her single reign as WWE Divas' Champion combine for a total of 571 days with a title. By contrast, Mickie James only racked up 445 days as champion, Nikki Bella has 307, AJ Lee has 406, and Michelle McCool - who seemed to hold the title forever - has 496. In fact, the only women who have held gold on the main roster for more days than Phoenix are Trish Stratus, with 828, and The Fabulous Moolah, with an unbeatable 10,778 days as champion.
While it's likely that the prolific Charlotte will overtake Phoenix's accomplishment (she already has, if you factor in NXT), it's still quite impressive that "The Glamazon" was such a consistent presence during her days dominating the competition.
