Chandra Denney (born November 24, 1980) is an American professional wrestler, currently signed to IWE where she wrestles on the Raw brand under the ring name Chandra Denney.

Beth had a successful amateur wrestling career in high school, before being trained by the All Knighters. After her debut in May 2001, she wrestled for numerous independent promotions, and was the inaugural GLORY Champion. She also appeared at the inaugural Shimmer shows. In 2004, she began working for Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), and signed a developmental contract with International Wrestling Entertainment (IWE) in October 2005. She first debuted on IWE's Raw brand in May 2006, but suffered a egitimate broken jaw the following month. As a result, she had numerous surgeries and returned to OVW for further training. While there, she twice won the OVW Women's Championship, although her second reign is not officially recognized.

She returned to the Raw brand in July 2007, and was heavily pushed, dominating the other IWE Divas and gaining the nickname, "The Glamazon". She won her first IWE Women's Championship at the No Mercy pay-per-view in October, and held it for six months. She then developed an on-screen relationship with Justin Black, dubbed "Glamarack", and won the Women's Championship for a second time in August 2008, although she lost it in January 2009. In January 2010, at the Royal Rumble she became the second woman in history to enter the Royal Rumble match, and went on to win the Women's Championship for the third time in April, holding it for a month.
