NXT Women’s champion Asuka hasn’t been pinned or submitted since joining WWE in 2015, and with the company drawing attention to the number of wins she’s racked up over that time - and even making comparisons to Goldberg’s legendary WCW streak - we’ve decided to follow along.
On Friday night (April 21) in Crystal River, Florida, the Empress of Tomorrow successfully defended her title against Mandy Rose (because, no offense to the Tough Enough finalist... duh)...

...@Wiljack86 ain’t never lied. This is also a good time to mention - thanks to @Tarratastic for the alternate look at this scene which graces the front page!
165!
8 more to tie Bill G’s acknowledged 1997 - 1998 streak.
Two more Florida shows this weekend, although the powers-that-be-seem to be carefully doling out Asuka matches. Maybe trying to build toward her match at TakeOver: Chicago being to tie or break the record?
Stay tuned.
