In one of the most important WWE matches in the history of intergender wrestling history, Chyna challenged Jeff Jarrett for his WWE Intercontinental Championship. The story between the two was quite simple. Jarrett was portrayed as a sexist man who didn't believe Chyna could defeat him. Chyna, of course, was fiercely determined to prove him wrong.

The bout was a Good Housekeeping match, which is a variation of a no-disqualification contest. The two Superstars went on to have a fantastic bout that was all about violence and big spots. There was hardly any traditional wrestling in the contest, but nobody wanted to see it in the first place.

The crowd was firmly behind Chyna, and the fans wanted her to give Jarrett a brutal beating. Some viewers have criticized the build-up to this match. Still, WWE delivered a feel-good ending, as Chyna emerged victorious.

Even today, the match is quite polarizing. Many fans dismiss it because they think it promotes intergender violence. But the bout has also drawn plenty of praise, as it gave mixed wrestling the opportunity to shine on a big platform.
