It is considered to be the most prestigious IFBB Professional League all women's bodybuilding event in the world.{{cn|date=July 2025}} The show's inception came as a result of the elimination of the Ms. Olympia, being the pinnacle of women's bodybuilding 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.<ref name="2015 IFBB WINGS OF STRENGTH RISING PHOENIX WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS">{{cite web|url=http://www.wingsofstrength.net/assets/Site_18/files/Press%20Releases/RisingPhoenixPressRelease.pdf|title=ANNOUNCING THE '2015 IFBB WINGS OF STRENGTH RISING PHOENIX WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS'|date=March 9, 2015|publisher=wingsofstrength.net|accessdate=April 7, 2015|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150905093005/http://www.wingsofstrength.net/assets/Site_18/files/Press%20Releases/RisingPhoenixPressRelease.pdf|archivedate=September 5, 2015}}</ref>
==History== ===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.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Bodybuilding Events {{!}} Tim Gardner Producations {{!}} Tampa |url=https://www.timgardnerproductions.com/ |access-date=2024-06-14 |website=www.timgardnerproductions.com |language=en}}</ref><ref name="2015 IFBB WINGS OF STRENGTH RISING PHOENIX WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS" />
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.

==Qualification== From 2015 to 2019, the Rising Phoenix World Championships was the ''de facto'' equivalent of the Ms. Olympia.{{cn|date=July 2025}} The qualification system was identical to the Olympia Qualification System, with the same ranking and points system, along with the top five Ms. Olympia contestants automatically qualifying for the 2015 Rising Phoenix World Championships. The top five Rising Phoenix World Championships automatically qualify for the 2016 to 2019 Rising Phoenix World Championships. From 2015 to 2019, the winner of the Ms. Rising Phoenix title would receive lifetime qualification for the Ms. Olympia, which is identical to winning the Ms. Olympia. After the 2019 announcement of the return of the Ms. Olympia, from 2020 to the present, the Rising Phoenix World Championships became the ''de facto'' equivalent of the Ms. International. The qualification system adopted is identical to the Ms. International, which is an application invitational system.<ref>{{cite web | title=Wings of Strength’s Rising Phoenix World Championship Will Be Invitational | date=January 3, 2020 | url=https://wingsofstrength.net/rising-phoenix-invitational/ | website=Wings of Strength | access-date=September 29, 2024}}</ref>
