The WWE honored recently deceased former wrestler Joan "Chyna" Laurer with a heartfelt tribute video on Monday night.
As moments played out, the video also highlighted the outpouring of support Chyna received following her death on social media from current and past WWE Superstars.
"Shattered glass ceilings, kicked down doors, broke gender barriers, she was an anomaly & untouchable. Rest now-ur legacy lives on #RIPChyna," WWE Hall of Famer and former Women's Champion Trish Stratus wrote on Twitter at the time as was seen in the tribute.
"Someone who wasn't afraid to blaze her own trail & create a path for those who would follow. A pioneer whose star shined bright. #RIPChyna," said WWE COO and Chyna's former running mate Triple H on Twitter which was also featured in the video.
Dubbed "The Ninth Wonder of the World," Chyna was a physically imposing figure who made her WWE debut in 1997 as the bodyguard of Triple H, a groundbreaking pairing at the time, as women were not seen in such roles in professional wrestling.Chyna stayed by Triple H's side throughout the late '90s and together the duo helped form D-Generation X, one of the most popular wrestling stables of all time.
Chyna would go on to break new ground for female competitors, becoming the first woman to qualify for the King of the Ring tournament, the first woman to be a No. 1 contender for the WWE Championship, the first woman to enter the Royal Rumble match and hold the distinction of being the first and only woman to win the Intercontinental Championship.
According to the Los Angeles Times, results from a toxicology test to determine whether she died of a suspected overdose could take months.
Recently, Anzaldo revealed to E! News how the former star was indeed taking legally prescribed drugs and may have been over-medicating leading up to her death.
Anzaldo had also reached out to A&E's "Intervention" documentary series about a possible intervention.
"I reached out the 'Intervention' [team] because they offered the opportunity to put a professional intervention together in days instead of weeks. They offered the opportunity for us to get 3 months in a first class facility. Provide a professional interventionist. They provided the tools in the quickest amount of tim...We were going to document an intervention anyway for our own documentary," Anzaldo said to E! News before stating that by the time producers had reached out, it was already too late.
