— After a couple of months of speculation, Beth Phoenix was written off WWE TV last night. Beth was “fired” by Vickie Guerrero after a match against AJ Lee. Beth lost via a quick roll-up and then Vickie re-started the match, which Beth then won. Afterward Vickie fired Beth for forcing her to restart the match so AJ could lose.
As previously reported, Beth gave notice a while back and will be helping Edge recover from neck surgery, which he will undergo in November.
