Beth Phoenix was busted open in the women’s Royal Rumble match last night, and video of the show reveals how.
As you can see in the clip below, Phoenix was in the corner with Bianca Belair when Belair hit her in the chest. When Phoenix threw her head back to react, she smacked the back of her head into the ring post. This happened early on after her entrance at #19 and her hair was visibly bloodied; she stayed in for over 23 minutes until Shayna Baszler made her the match’s 28th elimination.

Despite the fact that my best friend @TheBethPhoenix got even w me tonight for how I eliminated her in the first ever women’s #RoyalRumble in 2018, there’s no woman I’ve ever met who has the grit that Beth has. She was pouring blood tonight and she didn’t miss a beat. #IRONWOMAN pic.twitter.com/Mgaw3oapxT
