Chyna made waves in 1999 by winning a mini-Rumble on an episode of Raw, and in doing so earning the right to be the first female entrant into the Royal Rumble match. Despite not lasting very long in the match itself, the Seventh Wonder of the World did manage to pick up a notable elimination by dumping out Mark Henry. Then, the following year, Chyna would once again enter herself into the match but, unfortunately, didn't do much better. Having lasted 35 seconds in 1999, she'd only manage 37 seconds in 2000. On the plus side, she did eliminate her longtime rival Chris Jericho. Chyna may not have made much of an impact in either Rumble match she competed in, but her position as the first woman to enter the match is an indelible part of WWE history. Just like her run with the Intercontinental Championship, it's part of her reputation as the only WWE Diva that really managed to break free from the women's division.
