5 Most influential women in WWE history

#4 Chyna

Chyna showed that women could be better than men at wrestling

While her name is rarely mentioned in the WWE these days, there is little doubt as to the impact Chyna had during the Attitude Era. Debuting as Triple H’s bodyguard, The Ninth Wonder of the World established herself as the most dominant woman to step foot in a WWE ring.

She broke boundaries that no one ever thought would be broken as she became the first woman to enter the Royal Rumble, the first woman to win the Intercontinental Championship and have long and impactful feuds with a number of male wrestlers.

It is absolutely incredible that during a time when women were relegated to Bra and Panties matches that a woman broke all stereotypes in order to challenge and change the status quo. She is the reason women’s wrestling was given another shot.
