10 Times WWE Completely Wasted The Royal Rumble
3. Asuka's Streak Ends
Asuka's victory at Royal Rumble 2018 was a historic moment, marking the first-ever women's Royal Rumble match.
Her win was a testament to her dominance and undefeated streak, which had run through NXT to the WWE main roster. However, what followed at WrestleMania 34 left many feeling that her Rumble win was ultimately wasted.
Asuka chose to challenge Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women's Championship at WrestleMania. The match itself was a showcase of incredible talent and athleticism, but the outcome was a shocker. Charlotte ended Asuka's undefeated streak, defeating her cleanly in the middle of the ring. This decision was met with mixed reactions, as it felt like the end of an era that had only just begun.
The end of Asuka's streak at WrestleMania was disappointing because it seemed to undermine the significance of her Royal Rumble win. The Rumble is supposed to propel the winner to new heights, but in Asuka's case, it led to a high-profile loss. Fans who had invested in her undefeated run were left questioning the decision to end it so abruptly.
