10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Feb 8)

9. Beth Phoenix Relied On Facebook To Call The Royal Rumble

The Royal Rumble must be one of WWE's most stressful shows every year, and that's probably even more true now they run more than one 30-person match on the night. This year, Beth Phoenix joined the commentary team for the women's bout, and she found herself scrambling to come up with info on each entrant.

It's not that Beth didn't do her homework, it's that WWE didn't tell her who'd be in the match.

Phoenix appeared on 'E&C's Pod Of Awesomeness' to reveal she didn't have a clue who was coming down the aisle next. The only information Beth had to go on was what WWE posted on their Facebook and Twitter pages. In other words, she called the match blind, and didn't have a clue about spots like Nia Jax thumping Lana.

In a way, that was probably helpful; Phoenix could react naturally to what she was seeing. Still, she is grateful she pays attention to NXT every week.
