Chyna had a massive impact during her WWE career.
WWE icon Chyna – who was the first woman in the company’s history to win the Intercontinental Championship and enter the Royal Rumble and King of the Ring – has died, aged 45.
The WWE and entertainment world in general have been paying tribute to a trailblazer following the tragic news.
Condolences to the family & friends of @ChynaJoanLaurer. Hopefully her troubled soul has found peace.
