Beth Phoenix Recalls Advice She Got From FTR After WWE Elimination Chamber

Beth Phoenix returns to the ring for first time in over a year at WWE Elimination Chamber when she teamed with Edge to take on Finn Balor & Rhea Ripley. 

Beth & Edge were victorious in the match, hitting Balor with the Big Rig (Shatter Machine) for the victory. 

Appearing on Busted Open Radio, Beth reflected on the match and revealed the advice she got from FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler), who use the Big Rig as their finish. 

“I was really beating myself up after the match because I really wanted to keep up. I felt like in some moments, I wasn’t there. I was talking to the Revival guys, FTR, and they gave me some great advice that I kind of leaned on. They said, ‘You know, the fact that we are perfectionists, that’s why we end up at the top of our business and being Hall of Fame. The reason we are so hard on ourselves is because we perform at that level and expect that of ourselves.’ I was like, okay, I don’t want to take it so hard or take it home with me or really beat myself up, but at the same time, we know, no matter how good the performance is, we can always do better. I think that’s how you perform well for a long while in our business,” she said.

Saturday marked Beth’s first bout since WWE Royal Rumble 2022 when she teamed with Edge to defeat The Miz & Maryse. 

Elsewhere during the interview, Beth commented on the possibility that she would wrestle at WrestleMania 39. You can find her full comments by clicking here.
