Then: Everyone from Jim Ross to Bruce Prichard has confirmed that Chyna didn't like being shoved into the women's division in 2001. Nonetheless, she won the Women's Title at the Rumble by squishing Ivory, and the win went down well with the live crowd in New Orleans.

Now: Chyna passed away aged just 46 on 17 April 2016.

Her legacy did receive some more shine when WWE made the call to induct Chyna posthumously (as part of D-Generation X) in 2019. That was a step forward for the company; they'd previously only mentioned the 'Ninth Wonder Of The World' in passing.
