Chyna fue mejor conocida por su carrera en la empresa World Wrestling Federation (hoy WWE) de 1997 a 2001, misma que en 2019 a casi tres años de su muerte, fue ingresada de manera póstuma en el Salón de la Fama de la clase de ese mismo año junto a los integrantes originales de D-Generation X siendo la primera mujer en ser inducida mientras formaba parte de un grupo. Entre sus logros destaca un reinado como Campeona Femenina de la WWE, dos reinados como Campeona Intercontinental de la WWE, siendo la primera y única mujer en ostentar dicho título. Fue la primera mujer en participar en un Royal Rumble en la historia de dicho evento, seguida de Beth Phoenix, Kharma y Nia Jax, además de ser la primera y única mujer hasta ahora que ha participado en un King of the Ring. Es considerada la luchadora más importante en la historia de la WWE debido a sus logros que sirvieron como parteaguas para las siguientes generaciones de luchadoras. Chyna fue una de las mujeres que tuvo mayor influencia en la lucha libre, especialmente por su estilo de lucha; ya que el mayor tiempo que estuvo en la WWE sus combates fueron contra hombres, eso causó mayor impacto entre los fanáticos ya que era la única luchadora con el porte, fuerza y tamaño para enfrentarlos, llegando a convertirse en la contendiente No.1 por el campeonato mundial de la WWE. Chyna además de su paso por la WWF, tuvo una aparición breve en TNA y en NJPW
