WWE has the power to orchestrate some of the most shocking moments inside the ring. In fact, the company chose Royal Rumble 2010, Beth Phoenix, and The Great Khali to show the audience how embracing someone inside the ring can cause devastation.

At the Royal Rumble 2010 men’s match, Beth Phoenix entered at number six, right after The Great Khali. It was evident that she would not win, but would make an impact, and she did.

The only two Superstars inside the ring at that point were CM Punk and Khali. Khali hit Punk on the head and was on the ring floor when Phoenix entered. She stood across Khali and both of them glared at each other.

Being a gentleman at heart, he wanted to take it easy on her. Khali tried to gently throw Phoenix out of the ring. However, she pulled him in for a kiss, brought him over the ropes, and he landed ringside, with his feet touching the ground. The audience went wild as she eliminated him.

She didn’t last too long in the ring since immediately after this, CM Punk eliminated her. Regardless, being a woman and eliminating the giant was quite the achievement.

In a session with Nia Jax and Natalya on Table for 3, Phoenix revealed that eliminating him felt like a vindication.

“There was a time in my career where I questioned ‘is what I’m doing going to change anything, is it going to matter?’ And I went through a lot of frustration… There were some tough moments in there where I’m like, ‘god, I’m not making any difference. Do I have a purpose? Is this going to matter?’ And so that moment was a nice vindication for me. I felt like okay, I had a part in this. It felt so good.” h/t CageSideSeats

Considering that there were no Royal Rumble Women’s matches back then, the entire experience was truly noteworthy for her career.
