In 2019, Chyna was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame alongside the rest of D-Generation X, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, X-Pac, Road Dogg, and Billy Gunn. This furthermore led to her being officially included in the WWE 2K video games since then, but many — including the team that runs her official social media accounts — say that a solo HOF induction was one of her final wishes.

Chyna’s run alongside DX was undoubtedly iconic, and her inclusion in many of the early segments of the faction is something many still fondly recall. However, due to the induction only highlighting her DX run, the rest of her career doesn’t fall under this accolade. While she might not have been the best worker, been involved in many incoherent booking decisions, and burned bridges on her way out of WWE, her status as a trailblazer and the “Ninth Wonder of the World” arguably justifies a solo induction.

Many current day women wrestlers have cited Chyna as an inspiration to get into the industry, such as KiLynn King. In an interview with “Ten Count,” King recalled being taller than most girls and even boys growing up, and that her weightlifting and athletic inclination led to her peers looking at her differently. Because of this, King could relate to Chyna, who ultimately inspired her into entry into wrestling. While she has yet to be inducted as a solo act into the WWE Hall of Fame, Chyna clearly has many devoted fans to this day.
