20 Years Of DX: Where Are They Now?
3. Chyna
Perhaps the most tragic tale from DX's sketchy legacy, Chyna was a jaw-dropping acquisition for WWE when she debuted alongside Triple H in early 1997. Spotted by Hunter and Shawn months earlier, she was hired after their incessant pestering, and became the silence behind the violence of the original incarnation of DX.
Alongside 'The Game', she transitioned twice more over a two year period, first into the babyface assassin of the DX army, before morphing into a corporate turncoat alongside real-life partner Triple H in 1999.
Still overwhelmingly popular, she became the first female to enter the Royal Rumble and win the Intercontinental Title, and her Playboy Magazine spread and autobiography sold at a phenomenal rate.
Regretfully, her personal and professional declines were simultaneously steep. Exiting the company in 2001 over a contract dispute amidst allegations of a Stephanie McMahon/Triple H affair, her drug addictions spiralled out of control as she struggled to maintain work in the industry, and a troubled relationship with Sean Waltman steered her into pornography and a permanent freeze-out from the remodelled family-friendly WWE.
Her 2016 passing at only 46-years-old was mourned by the wrestling community at large, as she was at long last spotlighted for her history-making feats. WWE themselves paid huge tribute to her contributions, sadly too late for her to view the significant difference her short stint made to women's wrestling and the industry as a whole.
