Beth Phoenix has done it all.

The three-time WWE Women's Champion, one-time Divas Champ and 2017 Hall Of Fame inductee had a sterling career she can look back on proudly. She had some of the best women's matches of her generation, became only the second woman to enter the then-all-male Royal Rumble in 2010 and even managed a return last year at WrestleMania 35.

Now, Beth sits comfortably alongside Mauro Ranallo and Nigel McGuinness on commentary for NXT, and she earns rave reviews for her work, but deep down inside, she still holds one tiny regret over her career.

She opened up on Twitter when answering fan questions to reveal that she always wanted to work a Steel Cage match during her main run. Beth would never get the chance, and she wishes she could turn the clock back and make it happen.

NXT star Tegan Nox chimed in on the tweet to volunteer herself for such a match in 2020. That's a fair point; Phoenix returned once and looked great at 'Mania 35. There's no reason why she couldn't scratch the Steel Cage itch this year.
