This week, fans took notice that Beth Phoenix’s WWE.com profile was removed from the active roster section and moved to the alumni portion of the site. Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com confirmed with multiple sources that Beth is no longer under contract to WWE. Beth last appeared on WWE television in 2023 and hasn’t been active since her husband Adam Copeland signed with AEW.

Fightful.com noted that those spoken to say that Beth is in “amazing condition” and that she could likely wrestle again if that is something she wants to do. While the subject of Beth working for AEW has reportedly been broached backstage, there is no word on if the two sides have had conversations. There is a belief that if Beth were to appear for AEW, it would happen once Copeland returns from his injury.

Beth’s voice says “you think you know him” at the start of Copeland’s theme. Following his debut with AEW at the 2023 WrestleDream PPV, Copeland said the following about Beth potentially joining him in AEW…

“Anytime I get to be close to Beth, obviously, I’m going to be super excited about that. I don’t know about the possibilities of that in the foreseeable. I love being around her, obviously, and we’ve had a blast when we did get to work together. Where she will be instrumental without anyone knowing it is she is my sounding board. If you see me do something that you think worked, it was always bounced off Beth and she always gives me better ideas back.”
