Beth Phoenix will be departing the NXT commentary desk following Sunday's WarGames event.

Phoenix issued a statement today announcing that she's decided to step away from her weekly NXT commentary role to spend more time with her family. Phoenix noted that she'll remain part of WWE.

Phoenix has been a member of the NXT commentary team alongside Vic Joseph and Wade Barrett.

"Ahead of WarGames, I wanted to share that this Sunday will be my final night in NXT. While I will remain a part of WWE, I have made the choice to step away from the weekly broadcast booth to spend more time with my family. This was not an easy decision, as I have loved my three plus years and 135 episodes with NXT and am incredibly proud of the brand," Phoenix wrote.

"I will forever be grateful to Vic Joseph, Wade Barrett, Nigel McGuinness, Tom Phillips, Mauro Ranallo, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Michael Cole, and my entire NXT family both in and out of the ring for the amazing opportunity. NXT will always be a part of me and Auntie Betty will always be a part of NXT. Leave the porch light on for me!"

Phoenix was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2017.

WarGames will be NXT's first streaming special since being rebranded as "NXT 2.0."

I have no quarrels with Beth on commentary wonder who they promote though.

Gimme Nigel, nothing wrong with two Brits and Vic. And he's in the states anyway lmao they have him calling NXT UK remotely

I don't think they will have two brits on commentary for just 2.0

Besides I want some steve corino though I do think it be funny if like Andre Chase would do commentary while teaching his class lol

Well then replace Wade bc Nigel is better if they have a British quota of 1 person

I wouldn't mind I do like Wade too but I think Nigel is better then bring in Corino they got chemistry already

I like Wade too but if I'm only allowed one Brit then RIP lol Corino is good on commentary, I've seen no indication that WWE wants him to do it tho

I'm js I don't think they will put Wade & Nigel on nxt 2.0 UK maybe 2.0 no besides Wade & Nigel are kind of doing the same sctiche

I prefer Wade tbh and I think they either stick to a 2 man booth or shoehorn another female into the booth
