WWE honored the legacy of Joanie "Chyna" Laurer on Monday Night Raw, just a few days after the former Intercontinental and women's champion died at the age of 46.

Chyna transformed women's wrestling at the height of the Attitude Era, and was perhaps more well known for her matches against some of WWE's biggest male stars than for her battles in the women's division. She was the first (and only) woman to ever win the Intercontinental title, and was the first woman to compete in both the Royal Rumble and the King of the Ring. As WWE legend Jim Ross wrote last week, Chyna was a Renaissance woman, and she'll hopefully one day be recognized with a spot in the WWE Hall of Fame.
