7 WWE Streaks And Records That Need To Be Broken

2. Chyna Is The Only Woman To Win A Non-Female Championship

As unrealistic as this is, it's a surprise that it hasn't been attempted in the 13 years since Chyna left the WWE. They've gave Hornswoggle the Cruiserweight Championship, so why stop there? Chyna is one of those unmentionable names backstage but let's not forget that Chyna was huge in her day - one of WWE's biggest stars. She transcended women's wrestling and regularly fought men. 'The Ninth Wonder of the World' beat Jeff Jarrett (another blacklisted name) at No Mercy 1999, and Chris Jericho soon after, to become a two-time Intercontinental Champion. However, the writing was on the wall for Chyna when her boyfriend Triple H cheated on her with Stephanie McMahon - the power couple soon made sure she was fired. As unfair as that was, Chyna furthered herself from a WWE return with some ill-advised career decisions. She starred in porn films, made awkward TV appearances, got arrested for domestic assault and suffered from substance abuse. It's unlikely she'll ever appear in WWE again, yet her record still stands. How should the record be broken? Well there's all sorts of potential problems to repeating Chyna's feat. WWE would need a male superstar willing to lose to the woman in question, plus there'd be corporate struggles to go with it. Beth Phoenix and Kharma were two recent divas who broke the WWE's trend of hiring models to dance and fumble between the ropes. Kharma, in particular, was set to become dominant of both genders until personal reasons took her off TV. Until officials hire another strong, muscular, athletic woman, the record won't be broken.
