3: Female with most WWE Intercontinental Championship reigns: Chyna - 2

For a record with the word 'longest' in its name, Chyna's two Intercontinental Championships reigns doesn't sound too impressive on paper, but it is likely a record that will never be broken due to the nature of the business today.

Chyna's success in WWF was a special case. She clearly had the size, strength and stature to fight with the men, and considering the women's division was pretty poor at the time, she would have been wasted only going after the women's championship. Not only did she become the IC Champion, during her spell at the top, but also qualified for the King of the Ring and came close to competing for the WWE Championship itself.

Chyna's first IC title reign came at the expense of Jeff Jarrett at No Mercy 1999. Jarrett was reportedly paid $300,000 to lose to Chyna, an offer Vince could not turn down considering Double J was not contractually obliged to wrestle at the event. Chyna would go on to defend the title against Chris Jericho and even won it a second time a year later during her time as Eddie Guerrero's onscreen girlfriend.

Ironically, it is now much less likely for a woman to win the IC title, despite the division as a whole being demonstrably better than it was in Chyna's day. This is because the WWE no longer depict intergender wrestling or violence. Seth Rollins accidentally crashing into Stephanie McMahon at Mania last year was considered quite a controversial spot.

Gone are the days of old women being crashed into tables or tombstoned on concrete, but Chyna was somebody who broke the mould when it came to women's wrestling and her two IC title reigns are certainly a worthy prize.
