5 women in WWE who have won men's championship titles

#1 Chyna is the only woman to hold the WWE Intercontinental Championship

Chyna had two reigns as WWE Intercontinental Champion

After D-Generation X split in 1999, Chyna found herself emerging as a singles star in WWE. She was the first-ever woman to be included in the King of the Ring tournament that year, making it to the quarterfinals.

After this, she engaged in a feud with Jeff Jarrett, going after his WWE Intercontinental Championship. After losing to him at Unforgiven, Chyna was later successful against Jarrett at No Mercy, becoming the first and only female winner of the WWE Intercontinental Championship.

Following on from this, Chyna began a rivalry with Chris Jericho, and a match between the pair on SmackDown ended with them both pinning on another simultaneously. The pair were then dubbed "co-champions" by Stephanie McMahon. Chyna later lost the title at the 2000 Royal Rumble, where Jericho pinned her in a triple threat match.

Chyna later spent a second reign as WWE Intercontinental Champion. When she became the on-screen girlfriend of Eddie Guerrero, Chyna became a fan-favorite, The couple took on Val Venis and Trish Stratus as SummerSlam 2000 to win the belt. Just two weeks later, Chyna dropped the WWE Intercontinental Championship to Guerrero in a triple threat match, and the pair split after she caught him with other women.
