“I’m Not Crying”: 36-Year-Old Female WWE Legend’s Surprise Proposal Makes Fans and Big Names Emotional

Before the advent of the WWE Women’s Revolution a few years back, there were a handful of female wrestlers who held the division together. Despite being given little to showcase themselves, these women did the best they could, paving a path for the next generation to come and be successful.

Former WWE superstar Alicia Fox was one of the integral parts of the company’s women’s division around 2010. She, together with the likes of AJ Lee, Kelly Kelly, and Beth Phoenix, laid the foundations for the Divas Revolution in WWE. Fox played a key role in keeping the division relevant during its lean years and wrestled for WWE for over a decade.

Fox eventually left the WWE and has since made sporadic appearances for the company. Recently, the former Divas Champion got engaged to musician Michael Fitzgerald, who shared the news on his Instagram.

Alicia Fox’s WWE career

Alicia Fox first appeared for WWE in 2008 as a wedding planner for Edge and Vickie Guerrero. A year later, she wrestled her first match on WWE ECW against Katie Lea. After getting drafted to SmackDown, she featured alongside prominent names like Mickie James, Beth Phoenix and Maryse.

After coming up short on a few occasions in her quest for the Divas title, Fox finally won the title at the Fatal-4-Way pay-per-view in 2010. In the match, she overcame Gail Kim, Eve Torres, and Maryse to become the first African-American woman to win the Divas Championship.

During her time with WWE, Fox also led the 2017 RAW Women’s Survivor Series team and was part of feuds with many new-age women wrestlers like Sasha Banks and Bayley. In 2019, WWE revealed that Fox’s contract had expired, and she had retired.

Since then, she has made a few appearances for WWE. She was part of the Women’s Royal Rumble matches in both 2021 and 2022.
