A one-off run as Intercontinental Champion could have been considered a fluke. Perhaps those in charge of decision-making at management level in the WWF were simply undertaking a short experiment by booking Chyna to win the title. If so, they fancied experimenting some more: she won it twice.

At SummerSlam 2000, Chyna teamed with her then on-screen boyfriend Eddie Guerrero to face Val Venis and Trish Stratus. Venis was then the reigning titleholder, but he'd lose the belt without actually being pinned himself. Instead, it was Stratus who stared at the lights for Chyna, suddenly making her a 2-time Intercontinental Champion due to the pre-match 'pin anyone' stipulation.

The second reign only lasted a few weeks, but it proves just how much star power Chyna had. By mid-2000, she had long-since been regarded as someone who was equal to the men. When facing other women like Trish, she steamrolled over them in storyline.

That relationship with Guerrero was a positive overall; Chyna looked like she was having fun interacting with the charismatic Eddie and they had good chemistry together.
