Beth Phoenix Opens Up About Why She Left WWE In 2012

Beth Phoenix was recently a guest on the Prime Time with Sean Mooney podcast. During the podcast, she spoke on a wide variety of topics.

One of these topics was her decision to leave WWE in 2012. Beth ended up explaining why she decided to leave the company.

Here is what she said:

 “I was really frustrated with where the women were at from a company standpoint, and the investment that was being made in us. I felt in my heart I had done my best, and I’d try really hard to change things but, at some point I just got really frustrated. Also, all the travel. I had been away from my family for a long time. We buried both my grandparents, my uncle passed away from cancer; I missed so many milestones in my families lives, that I just thought it was time to come home and be with them for a little bit and take a break from the road. And in that time, Adam’s career as an actor was taking off, and I had just had the baby. I just took that supportive role at home, and I loved it. I loved being a stay-at-Home mom. I followed wrestling, but I had just kind of made peace with, like, ‘OK, that was my career. I’m now a mom, and I’m going to find other things to do with my life’.”
