WWE: Celebrating African-American Wrestlers Who Impacted Us

Alicia Fox

Joe Anthony Myrick- There seems to be a common misconception that Alicia Fox is lower on WWE’s totem pole because she is “a jobber.” Truth be told, she may just be the most important instrument of the division.

When one of the top stars of WWE’s women’s division was too injured to compete at Evolution,
who did WWE call on to take her place? When 205 Live wanted to highlight some of Noam
Dar’s personality, who did they decide to pair him with? When it comes time to establish new
stars – like Paige or Sasha Banks – as top stars shortly after their debut, who does WWE usually
call on to provide them with their first major main roster victory?

They call Foxy Baby, baby.

Everyone in WWE serves a vital role and purpose in the wider picture of things. Even if Alicia
Fox’s role is that of enhancement talent, that does not and should not take away from the
tremendous athlete that she is. She’s one of the more fluid, technically sound wrestlers on the
women’s roster, not to mention she has a terrific resume to boot. In addition to being WWE’s
first Black Divas Champion, she has been in the WWE longer than any current female wrestler. She may not have had a decade of dominance, but no one can deny she’s had a successful run.

Also, we’d be remiss if we didn’t say that Alicia Fox has the best damn Northern Lights Suplex in
the business.

As a great wrestler, great character, possible WWE lifer and a future WWE Hall of Famer, it’s
about time we all started putting some respect on Alicia Fox’s name.
