1. History Maker

Phoenix was on hand for some history making moments. Phoenix took part in the first Women’s “I Quit” match against Melina in 2008 to culminate their feud. It was an alliance gone wrong, as during their tag team matches Melina would accidentally strike Phoenix one week, and knock her off the apron the next week. The women would attack each other on several occasions, which led to the match. Phoenix would defeat the former Women’s Champion in less than ten minutes.

Phoenix feuded on and off with the dominant duo LayCool from 2010 to 2011. Between that time she feuded with McCool, then Layla, trading victories with the Women’s Championship. Phoenix suffered a torn ACL prior to Layla winning, which put her out of action for months. She returned at Survivor Series where she attacked LayCool, assisting Natalya. At TLC 2010, Phoenix and Natalya teamed up to take on LayCool in the first Divas tables match.

The Divas of Doom would win the match by Natalya doing a crossbody onto Laycool through a pink table with a drawing of LayCool on there. The two continued to team together from time to time, with Natalya assisting Phoenix to capture the Divas Championship against Kelly Kelly. Even though the two women only wrestled each other once, which is a shame, they had enormous respect for one another, and it was one of those missed opportunities that the company didn’t capitalize on.
