Though rare, WWE has broken their rules regarding intergender wrestling a few times. Intergender wrestling has always been the subject of contentious debates throughout its long history. For many of a more traditional mindset, intergender wrestling is something that should not be allowed in the mainstream.
Triple H has spoken out against intergender wrestling himself in the past, but that does not mean that there are no cases of intergender wrestling in WWE history.
In fact, there have been some superstars who made history simply through their intergender wrestling matches. In the independent scene, intergender wrestling is common, and some current WWE Superstars such as Candice LeRae even made it their specialty before they joined the company.
WWE has compromised at times with mixed tag team wrestling, but recently, there have been instances of intergender wrestling as well.
In this article, we will talk about the five best intergender wrestling matches in WWE history. It should be noted that we will be talking about singles matches, so matches like Ronda Rousey and Kurt Angle facing Stephanie McMahon and Triple H and the team of Lita and Trish Stratus facing Christian and Chris Jericho won’t count in this instance.
Honorable mention goes to Chyna’s matches against Jeff Jarrett.
#5 Molly Holly vs Crash Holly on WWE RAW, February 7, 2001
When Molly Holly first arrived in WWE, she was said to be a cousin of Hardcore Holly and Crash Holly. They formed a stable and found some success. However, when they were in a rivalry against the Dudley Boyz, Molly Holly started a kayfabe relationship with Spike Dudley.
Neither stable were happy about this and did their utmost to cause rifts between the two, but the lovebirds were not going to be separated. In the end, Molly and Crash Holly ended up in a match against each other on RAW. The match was short but Molly Holly looked amazing throughout.
She got the win in the end with Jacqueline’s help, pinning Crash.
#4 Jazz vs Bubba Ray Dudley on WWE RAW, April 29, 2002
An often-overlooked WWE women’s wrestler from the early 2000s, Jazz was one of the best wrestlers at the time. She was the women’s champion at the time, but when she challenged Bubba Ray Dudley for the Hardcore title, he didn’t take her seriously at all.
When Jazz introduced weapons, he changed his mind. Jazz assaulted him and had him on the retreat. Jazz ended up getting hit with a number of big moves though, and was about to be powerbombed through the table when Steven Richards saved her.
She was able to compete with Bubba, but Richards took advantage of the wearied Dudley to hit him with a weapon, assisted by Jazz, and pinned him to become the Hardcore Champion.
#3 Dean Malenko vs Lita on WWE RAW, December 4, 2000
Lita may be one of the most well-known legends of the early 2000s women’s division in WWE. Be it for her feuds with Trish Stratus that have gone down in wrestling legend, or for her extreme style of wrestling, she is recognized as one of the best women’s wrestlers of all time.
However, she would not shirk away from wrestling men either. When Dean Malenko entered WWE, he did so as a part of the Radicalz stable. He had a feud with The Hardy Boyz and one of the reasons for this was because he was interesting Lita. In the end, he made her an interesting proposition.
He challenged her to a Light Heavyweight Championship Match. If she lost the match, she would have to go on a date with him, but if she won, she would become the champion. She accepted the match and took a number of bumps that looked nasty, but she looked his equal, hitting him back with all she had.
In the end, she tapped out to the Texas Cloverleaf, but not before she looked extremely convincing the in the match.
#2 Jacqueline vs Chavo Guerrero on WWE SmackDown, May 6, 2004
Possibly one of the most underrated female wrestlers of all time in WWE, Jacqueline’s match against Chavo Guerrero was one that most fans remember.
Chavo Guerrero held the Cruiserweight title in 2004 and issued an open challenge for anyone to face him. He was not ready when Jacqueline answered the challenge and walked down the ramp.
Chavo didn’t take the challenge seriously, and that was to his detriment. Jacqueline took a number of nasty bumps in the match, but Chavo took her too lightly. As a result, Jacqueline took advantage and managed to get a small package pin. She was the first-ever woman to hold the Cruiserweight title once it had come to WWE, and the third overall.
#1 Chris Jericho vs Chyna at WWE Survivor Series 1999
Although modern WWE fans might have some difficulty in believing this, one of Chris Jericho’s best rivalries from the Attitude Era was against Chyna.
They had three matches, one after the other in consecutive pay-per-views. During that time, they were not only having intergender matches, but were contesting for the Intercontinental title. Chyna’s match against Jarrett had been more hard-hitting, but her matches against Jericho were more entertaining.
The chemistry between the two wrestlers was undeniable and it didn’t feel like the match was about a woman wrestling a man. At times, Jericho behaved abominably, but for the most part, the matches were masterclasses in wrestling.
Chyna spent a large part of her WWE career wrestling some of the top names in the men’s division and she never shirked away from any match. While she wrestled quite a few different stars, her match against Jericho belongs at the top of this list.
