#4 Chyna eliminates Chris Jericho in the 2000 Royal Rumble match

By the time the 2000 Royal Rumble came around, Chris Jericho had become a mainstay in WWE. He was involved in a feud with Chyna and Hardcore Holly, heading into the Royal Rumble. At the event, Jericho defeated Chyna and Holly in a Triple Threat match for the Intercontinental title. Unfortunately for Jericho, Chyna wasn't happy one bit at how things turned out in the match. She decided to take it all out on Jericho, in the Royal Rumble match.

Chyna has competed in two Royal Rumble matches

In the Royal Rumble, Chyna came in at No. 17, minutes after Jericho did. Much like what happened between Chyna and Henry the year prior, she attacked Jericho upon entering the ring and eliminated him from the match. This time around as well, Chyna didn't last long and was out of the match in 38 seconds. She was thrown out of the ring by Big Boss Man, who in turn was eliminated by The Rock. This was it for Chyna's run as a Royal Rumble competitor, and she would never compete in the annual free-for-all again.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
