Title Lost: Intercontinental Championship
Lost Title To: Chyna

This is another infamous title change, as Jeff Jarrett dropped the Intercontinental Championship in a “Good Housekeeping” match to the first female to hold a major title, Chyna.

The Ninth Wonder of the World had been competing with the men for several months, and Jarrett began their feud by attacking her over a period of several weeks with various household items: a frying pan, a coffee can and a toaster.

There have long been stories that Jarrett help the IC title hostage since his contract technically ended before No Mercy and demanded a king’s ransom to appear and lose the strap. Regardless of how much truth there is to those stories, Jarrett left for WCW the next day and has never appeared in a WWE ring since. Chyna, meanwhile, enjoyed a two-month reign as IC champ. She and Jarrett would meet up again 12 years later in TNA, but the less that’s said about that, the better.
