10 Unnecessary WWE Details You Need To Know
4. Beth Phoenix Once Pitched To Be Introduced As Brock Lesnar's Sister
It can't be overstated how important making a genuine impact out of the gates can be for a debuting WWE star. Look no further than the way Brock Lesnar emphatically introduced himself on the Raw after WrestleMania X8, with The Beast's obliterating of the field on the red show forcing everyone to sit up and take notice.
And clearly taking inspiration from Brock's destructive debut, it turns out that eventual multiple-time Women's Champion Beth Phoenix actually once pitched to become the next Next Big Thing back when she was taking her first steps into the world of Sports Entertainment.
According to The Glamazon herself on Twitter, Beth took Michael Hayes to one side during a stint as a WWE extra and proceeded to pitch "a detailed storyline" that involved her eventually being "brought in as Brock Lesnar’s sister."
As Phoenix hilariously put it, she had "ZERO CHILL." But you can't knock the ambition on show in the eventual WWE Hall of Famer back in those early days. And you'd be lying if you said you wouldn't have lapped up the sight of Beth Lesnar F-5ing the division into oblivion throughout the late 2000s.
