Chris Jericho has publicly said he did not like working with Chyna during their storyline in WWF, but it was Jericho who led “The Ninth Wonder of the World” to what may have been her best pay-per-view match. The pair fought for the Intercontinental Championship at Survivor Series in 1999, where Chyna proved herself to be a worthy champion.
Following the Good Housekeeping match, Chyna issued an open challenge on “Raw” that was answered by Jericho, who started slinging insults at her, calling her “just a girl.” The pair would go on to have an almost 14-minute match at Survivor Series, which ended with a top rope pedigree by the champion.
Jericho immediately took it to Chyna to start off the match, and Chyna was aided by her valet at the time, Miss Kitty, throughout the bout. Jericho spared nothing against the champion, at one point, attempting to choke her out with some camera cables at ringside and another, driving her back-first into an exposed ring barricade.
He couldn’t keep Chyna down despite how much of a beating she took both in and outside of the ring. Chyna dodged a lionsault and rallied with her back elbow and a DDT. Jericho nailed her with the IC belt, however, while the referee was down and almost had the match won.
In the end, Chyna was able to escape a Walls of Jericho and when the challenger got her to the top rope, Miss Kitty distracted the ref. Chyna hit a low blow, followed by the pedigree from the top for the victory.
“Y2J” may not have liked working with Chyna, but that sentiment certainly doesn’t show during this bout. The pair worked well together and even bumped well for one another and had a solid bout for the title.
