Rising Phoenix World Championships

The IFBB Pro League Wings of Strength Rising Phoenix World Championships is a professional female bodybuilding competition, sponsored by Wings of Strength company founded by Jake and Kristal Wood.,    promoted by Tim Gardner Productions, and sanctioned by the International Federation of BodyBuilders (I.F.B.B.). It was the most prestigious IFBB professional female bodybuilding event around from 2015 to 2019, while the Ms. Olympia contest was on hiatus. The first championship show took place in conjunction with the IFBB Texas Pro, the NPC Tim Gardner Texas Extravaganza, and the NPC National on August 22, 2015, at the Grand Hyatt, San Antonio, Texas.

2015 – 2019
On March 8, 2015, Wings of Strength announced the creation of the Rising Phoenix World Championships. Regarded as the successor to the Ms. Olympia, Rising Phoenix World Championships adopted the point qualification system that the Ms. Olympia had.

At the 2015 Rising Phoenix World Championships, with Iris Kyle retired and Alina Popa not attending, Margie Martin, a dark horse contestant, managed to beat much more seasoned professional bodybuilders such as Helle Trevino, Debi Laszewski and Yaxeni Oriquen-Garcia in order to win the Ms. Rising Phoenix title. At the 2016 Rising Phoenix World Championships, Margie would repeat her success and retain her title. At the 2017 Rising Phoenix World Championships, with Margie not defending her title, Helle would win the title. At the 2018 Rising Phoenix World Championships, Alina dethroned Helle and beat Margie to win the title. At the 2019 Rising Phoenix World Championships, with Alina retired, Helle would go on the beat Margie and again win the title.

2020 – present
In 2020, several changes were made to the Rising Phoenix World Championships. The 2020 Olympia Qualification System changed the qualification from the Olympia Qualification System to an application invitational contest and it became a Tier 1 Contest on the 2020 Olympia Qualification System. This changed the Rising Phoenix World Championships from being the equivalent of the Ms. Olympia to the equivalent of the Ms. International. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Rising Phoenix World Championships was moved from September 5, 2020 in Phoenix, Arizona to December 5, 2020 in Las Vegas, Nevada. At the 2020 Rising Phoenix World Championships, Andrea Shaw dethroned Helle Trevino. Andrea would go on to consecutively win the 2021, 2022 and 2023 Rising Phoenix World Championships. Starting during the 2023 Olympia Qualification System period, the tier point system was removed, with only Ms. Rising Phoenix qualifying for the 2023 Ms. Olympia.
