Natalya to Induct Beth Phoenix into the WWE Hall Of Fame

WWE announced today that Natalya will induct her best friend and former partner Beth Phoenix into the WWE Hall of Fame later this month in Orlando during WrestleMania 33 weekend.

“There’s nobody that I can think of that deserves to be in the WWE Hall of Fame more than Beth Phoenix,” Natalya told WWE.com. “She’s a pioneer for women in our division. Beth did extraordinary things for women in WWE.”

Phoenix followed in the footsteps of Chyna when she became the second woman in history to enter the Royal Rumble match back in 2010. “Beth broke down a lot of walls for women in the industry in the sense that she wasn’t a cookie-cutter-type female wrestler,” Natalya explained.

The 2017 WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony airs live on the WWE Network next Friday, March 31 at 8pm ET/5pm PT.
