What Happened to Chyna from WWF?

Chyna, born Joan Marie Laurer, was a trailblazer in the WWE during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Known as “The Ninth Wonder of the World,” she broke barriers by competing against male wrestlers and securing the Intercontinental Championship twice—a feat unmatched by any other female wrestler. Her powerful physique and commanding presence made her a standout figure in the wrestling world.

Chyna’s Legacy in 2024

Tragically, Chyna passed away in 2016, leaving behind a complex legacy. In 2019, she was posthumously inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of D-Generation X, acknowledging her significant contributions to the industry. In 2024, her influence continues to resonate, with many current female wrestlers citing her as an inspiration for breaking gender norms in professional wrestling.
