10 Most Believable Superstars In WWE History
5. Asuka
Goldberg's undefeated streak, though heavily inflated, ended at 173-0 and lasted from September '97 until December '98. This was generally accepted as the longest undefeated streak in modern pro wrestling history - until current WWE superstar Asuka surpassed it in 2017. Her reign as NXT Women's Champion lasted 510 days, the longest of any WWE champion in three decades.
From the moment Asuka debuted in NXT, she stood head and shoulders above everyone else. Her stiff striking and in-ring work were the original driving force behind her character's credibility before the victories began piling up. Asuka's multiple wins over former NXT flagbearer Bayley, and perceived future women's torchbearer in Ember Moon, only added to Asuka's reputation. The strategy by NXT booker Triple H to buck tradition and keep the title on Asuka (before a legit shoulder injury forced her to vacate) is one that paid off.
Asuka will soon make her main roster debut for RAW - and the anticipation is unlike any female superstar's in recent memory. Whether or not Vince McMahon bungles this gift, like he has so many others, remains to be seen - but Asuka has been the most believable female superstar ever to step foot in WWE.
