WWE's female superstars have squared off against their male counterparts for years.
The concept of intergender matches has always attracted a lot of attention, especially during the 1990s and early 2000s.
Although most female stars were not as muscular and powerful as their male opponents, they did not back down from the intergender challenges and fought courageously.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Defeating top superstars like The Rock and Triple H is no easy task. However, two female stars achieved this feat and pinned them. Three other former champions have also fallen victim to members of the WWE women's division in the past.
Here are five WWE female superstars who have pinned their male counterparts.
#5 Current WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon pinned The Rock many years ago
The Rock and Stephanie McMahon have shared the WWE ring a few times in their careers. The Billion Dollar Princess found herself on the losing end in two successive matches in which she squared off against The People's Champion. However, their third bout ended differently.
On the September 17, 2001, episode of Monday Night RAW, Stephanie McMahon teamed up with Test to take on The Rock in a rematch from the previous week.
The main tussle was between The Rock and Test while Stephanie spent most of her time watching from the outside. She would then distract the referee as The People's Champ hit her partner with the Rock Bottom and covered him.
The Rock went into a heated argument with the referee for not counting the pin and made a fatal mistake by hitting him with a Rock Bottom.
Booker T and Shane McMahon took advantage and rushed to the ring to help Test take out The Rock, allowing Stephanie to pin him for the victory.
Throughout his long WWE career, The Rock was never pinned by another female Superstar.
#4 WWE Hall of Famer Lita pinned Dean Malenko
WWE Hall of Famer Lita was never afraid to mix it up with the guys in the ring and proved it when she faced Dean Malenko one-on-one.
Malenko became obsessed with Lita in late 2000. He offered her a match for his WWE Light Heavyweight Championship in exchange for a date if Lita lost. The former women's champion accepted the offer. Lita was close to scoring the win on a few occasions during the title match but eventually lost in the end.
Two months later on RAW, Lita went one-on-one again with Malenko under the condition that if she won, he would let her go.
Malenko, who is considered one of the greatest cruiserweights of all time, dominated the match until he accidentally knocked the referee out. Looking to take advantage of the referee's absence, he brought a steel chair into the ring. However, Malenko was the one who got hit with the chair when Matt Hardy interfered to rescue Lita.
As the referee returned to the ring, Lita covered The Man of 1,000 Holds for the pin. Hardy celebrated the victory with Lita as the two stars kissed to start their romantic relationship on-screen.
#3. WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix pinned Santino Marella
WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix and former Intercontinental and United States Champion Santino Marella have a long history. In 2008, they became an on-television power couple and named themselves Glamarella.
Their alliance lasted for over six months before the two stars split up. Both of them later feuded with each other for a few weeks too.
On the July 14, 2008, episode of Monday Night RAW, Santino Marella issued an open challenge, which Phoenix answered.
Surprisingly, The Glamazon made quick work of the former Intercontinental Champion and beat him via pinfall in less than 85 seconds.
Santino Marella and Beth Phoenix shared the WWE ring for the last time during the 2020 Women's Royal Rumble match. He entered the Rumble dressed as Santina and came to a face-off with The Glamazon and Natalya.
Intimidated by the two ladies, Santino eliminated himself by using his Cobra move.
Marella and Phoenix have not competed again in a WWE ring since then. However, the former Divas Champion is currently a full-time NXT commentator.
#2. WWE Hall of Famer Jacqueline pinned Chavo Guerrero
Chavo Guerrero is one of the most historic WWE Cruiserweight Champions and a former two-time WWE Tag Team Champion. However, he could not avoid defeat when he took on the Texas-born former Women's Champion Jacqueline.
On the May 4, 2004, episode of SmackDown, Chavo Guerrero issued an open challenge for anyone who wanted to face him for his Cruiserweight title. To his surprise, Jacqueline was the one who answered his challenge. Guerrero broke out in laughter as soon as he saw her walk down to the ring and then told her that she did not really want to face him. Jacqueline answered with a slap to his face.
Guerrero dominated the female star for most of the match. However, a low blow from Jacqueline behind the referee's back gave her the chance to pin him and capture the title. As a result, she became the first African American WWE Cruiserweight Champion.
Jacqueline's title reign lasted only 12 days as she lost the gold to Chavo Guerrero at Judgment Day in May. The former Women's Champion was released by the company the following month.
In 2016, Jacqueline was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. She last fought in a WWE ring during the 2018 Women's Royal Rumble match.
#1. WWE Hall of Famer Chyna pinned Triple H
Chyna was one of the biggest pioneers of the WWE women's division, unafraid to take on any superstar, either male or female. One of her most recognizable opponents was Triple H.
Triple H and Chyna shared a long history inside and outside the WWE ring. They were members of D-Generation X while being in a real-life romantic relationship. However, both of them were not always on the same side when it came to in-ring competition. The former allies squared off in two one-on-one televised matches.
Triple H and Chyna's clash on Sunday Night Heat in February 1999 ended via no-contest. Later that year, it was their match on RAW in August that mattered the most, as the two stars competed in a number one contender’s bout for the WWE Championship.
Both stars exchanged control over the match before Chyna threw Triple H outside the ring.
As she distracted the referee, Mankind interfered and hit The Cerebral Assassin with the steel steps, allowing Chyna to pin her opponent for the victory.
Following that match, Chyna and Triple H never fought each other again in a WWE ring.
