Chyna was a trailblazer for many, including Rhea Ripley, who is following a similar mould to Chyna’s rise.
During her time in WWE, Chyna would hold the Intercontinental Championship and would enter the men’s Royal Rumble match, becoming the first woman to enter the match. She would never hold a world title in the company, but would hold the Women’s championship.
Mick Foley recently stated on his podcast, Foley is Pod, that he believes there was a real possibility that Chyna could have become WWE Champion.
“I do. I do. I mean, look, Vince McMahon was World Champion. David Arquette was World Champion. Vince Russo was World Champion. Yeah, I think there’s a very real chance that she could have.”

WWE would honor her history as the Intercontinental Champion by releasing a special Signature Series championship belt, while also inducting her into the WWE Hall Of Fame along with the other members of DX.
