- Former WWE Diva Beth Phoenix was given the key to the city in her hometown of Elmira, New York last night. Beth also participated in a charity basketball game with the Harlem Wizards. She posted the following photo of a plaque she received, mentioning her contributions to professional wrestling, and wrote:

“I am speechless over the generous show of affection tonight… @HarlemWizards are just incredible. Thank you to my team mates, all of the wonderful people that worked hard to make tonight a success for the Smoke! Thank you Mayor Susan Skidmore, Wizards, Pat Audinwood, and all of my new friends! I never expected this honor and I am so humbled! Now off to celebrate!!!”
