10 Most Surprising WWE Hall Of Famers

7. Chyna

Based on the impact she had on the business during her four-and-a-half-year WWE career alone, Chyna absolutely deserved to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. 

A true trailblazer in the business, the Ninth Wonder of the World was an integral part of the Attitude Era and helped change the perception of what a female in sports entertainment could be. 

A former Women's and Intercontinental Champion, Chyna did many firsts, including being the first woman to enter the Royal Rumble and King of the Ring, Joanie Laurer preferring to wrestle men rather than members of the fairer sex. 

A crossover star, Chyna penetrated the mainstream thanks to her Playboy cover appearance and probably would have been in demand in Hollywood and elsewhere, had she remained with WWE beyond the summer of 2001. 

But she didn't, leaving the company due to a combination of unmet contract demands and discovering that her boyfriend Triple H was having an affair with on-screen squeeze Stephanie McMahon. 

The years following her WWE exit were troubled, as Chyna struggled with substance abuse issues and entered the world of adult entertainment. Sadly, she passed away in 2016, at the age of just 46. 

All of those things have contributed to WWE (to this point) not inducting her as a solo performer, but she did go in with DX in 2019, with other members of the stable acknowledging her contributions during their acceptance speech. 

This was a shock to some, as those within the company had openly acknowledged the difficulty in referencing her due to the tragic last years of her life.
