10 Wrestlers Who Debuted As "Fans"
5. Beth Phoenix
Beth Phoenix holds a number of pretty substantial records in WWE.
She's the youngest Hall of Famer ever and was the first person to enter both the Men's and Women's Royal Rumble matches. Strange to think that this legendary career began as a plant.
The hottest women's feud of 2006 was between Trish Stratus and Mickie James. James had beaten Stratus for the Women's Championship at WrestleMania that year and the two had been at each other's throats ever since.
On the 8 May episode of Raw, James was laying waste to Stratus when a "fan" jumped the barricade and took her out.
That fan was Beth and it was implied that her and James had previously had some sort of relationship, as Beth would go on to call her a "psycho" and promised to "not let her get away with it" during a promo the following week.
Thankfully, Beth broke away from this storyline and was able to come into her own as the dominant Glamazon. She would capture four championships during her time with the company and now has a place on the commentary table in NXT.
