It's time to Face the Facts :curt:

The end isn't even close to neigh. She's going to beat Nia, actually murder her WrestleMania opponent, and then hold onto the title until WrestleMania 35 where the big moment (since every wrestlemania ending in 5 or 0 has one) is going to be (probably heel) Asuka losing

How do I know this? I've got that insider information coming from a mole who I simply know as "V. Micky Mehon"

So...I am concerned...

I honestly think the WWE will have Nia end Asuka's streak before
Wrestlemania...mainly because the Old Man who owns/runs the
company may not want anyone else to have a streak going into
Wrestlemania because of the streak once held by the Undertaker.

For evidence of this...simply look at Charlotte's impressive pay
per view streak that was worthlessly thrown away at Fastlane last
year in an unclean match (No...I'm never going to forget that!)
instead of it being broken by Bayley (or better yet Sasha) at the
Ultimate thrill ride itself.

So...what do you guys think?

Am I being paranoid?

Will Asuka remain undefeated heading into Wrestlemania?

(I know this gif seems out of place...but how could I not post it?)

Will Nia get the rub that Ember Moon was not worthy of?

Does a count out or DQ victory count as breaking the streak?

Will my head explode if Asuka is defeated?

What do you guys think? Vote, comment & opinions below...and like always...
I'll see you all around the traps.
I know Vince is an idiot at times, but they haven’t built this streak of hers, had her win the rumble, look as if she’s going to fight Ronda, just to lose at a mania building PPV to a superstar that WWE randomly doesn’t give a shit about: nia Jax.

It won’t happen. Could it? Well, yeah, “anything can happen in the WWE.” But will it ? Nope.

I think WWE’s formula for women is similar to how they work the men roster, only nia is off and on and I’m not sure why.

Asuka: Roman reigns (I know she’s diff in the sense that she is undefeated, but she’s the same as far as overall dominance, main event status, and WWE backing no matter what, hence her streak and rumble win.)
Nia Jax: Braun Strowman (I know she’s more inconsistent as far as wins and being used correctly, but she’s the monster in the women’s universe, and has that quick, yet powerful persona; she just needs the WWE backing her more).
Ronda Rousey: Brock Lesnar (part time, actual badass, here to cause chaos, similar to lesnars approach to coming back to the company, except when Brock came back he actually whooped the top dogs ass: John Cena. Ronda pointed at a sign and smiled like a weirdo, but any ways....)

I could honestly see this happening. WWE seem to like to end streaks in very underwhelming circumstances. (Charlotte losing her PPV streak at Fastlane, Taker losing his 'Mania streak to Brock) and I could see WWE doing the same thing here. I would be so pissed if this was to happen though. Nia Jax is a shit and uninteresting wrestler. She's boring and has no charisma, along with being a bad in-ring worker. I actually think she's worse than Roman Reigns. Even though Roman isn't great in the ring, he's at least a decent performer and could put on a good match if he has a good opponent, as opposed to Nia who has slow, boring matches with good wrestlers. Despite all of this, i feel WWE want to make her a serious main eventer, and would probably want her to wrestle at Wrestlemania, in the triple threat match with Asuka and whoever ends up the Women's champion at Mania. I hate to say it, but I think this is going to happen.

2017 was a bad year for woman. I dont blame WWE for pushing Alexa Bliss. She has a great look, character and promo (why is WWE making Stephanie a main stream star a priority when they have Bliss?) As for everyone else, WWE have done a very poor job with the woman. Becky has done nothing noteworthy for over a year.

So far 2018 has been good for woman. Hopefully WWE continue to actually care about the woman division.

Yeah it's going to take more than some gimmick matches for the women's division to be good. They need consistent booking and good storytelling. The women don't have that yet... It's hard for me to believe after 15 years they actually care about women's wrestling..I still think it's for mainstream publicity due to Ronda's involvement and PR reasons. I hope i'm wrong, but the same people are in charge.

It's not going to happen. Although WWE does tend to end streaks in a stupid way... Ultimate Warrior's first loss because Bobby Heenan held his leg down, Tatanka lost an 18 month winning streak to Ludwig Borga and what ever became of Borga?, Kurt Angle losing to Taz illegally choking him... goes on and on.

However, I doubt Nia stands any chance of ending the streak. They will likely play this match exactly as they did in NXT when they went against each other. Asuka will remain undefeated and will win at Wrestlemania.

Honestly, I am not sure why people aren't talking about the obvious here. Asuka will likely remain undefeated until she eventually faces Rhonda Rousey. They'll book Rhonda as a female Lesnar, continue to had Asuka dominate until they face each other in the ring. It seems rather obvious, really. And if I am wrong, I'll go gay.

I guess the reason why I posted this thread is that I honestly
feel that the WWE could like you described in your post throw
away another streak...especially considering how the only streak
associated with Wrestlemania belongs to the Undertaker.

The votes are 10 to 2...meaning none of us are expecting it...

I'm telling you guys...I can just sense the WWE is about to make
a huge mistake.

And as far as Ronda Rousey goes...everyone keeps saying the
"Female Lesnar" but we haven't even seen her wrestle yet.

What if it turns out she actually terrible & the WWE are simply using
her for her name recognition alone. I mean they have the potential
to book possibly the biggest women's wrestling match in history...

Champion Charlotte vs. Undefeated Asuka vs. Ronda Rousey
(with Carmella in reserve with a briefcase ready)

& we are looking at Alexa vs. Nia (Ugh!) & Charlotte vs. Asuka.

Now don't get me wrong...I want to see Charlotte vs. Asuka as much
as it leaves the rest of the SmackDown ladies out in the cold...hey...
wait a second...can we have Charlotte vs. Asuka vs. Becky?

BEST.THREESOME.EVER!!!

Anyway...like I was saying...if Ronda was truly ready to go the WWE
would be pushing her as an active competitor...and they aren't.

The very idea of Ronda breaking Asuka's streak makes me literally feel
sick & I truly hope you are wrong about that.

Hell I'd rather see Shayna Baszler break Asuka's streak...at least I've
actually seen her wrestle & cut a few promos...unlike Ronda "Pointer"
Rousey.

Ember Moon should have broken Asuka's streak...that way Ember would
look like a valid Champion & Asuka's streak wouldn't be an issue for the
main roster to piss away.

Maybe they could have someone taser Asuka before she's hit with a
powerbomb?

No...that would be fucking Blue.

And if I am wrong, I'll go gay.
Yeah...& that would be hell for you woudn't it...

.

Then she'll do about 10 suplexes and a finishing move. I mean, Brock Lesnar is an excellent wrestler. However, he chooses not to really wrestle. He barely does anything in his matches, with the opponent generally carrying the match. So Ronda being the female Lesnar isn't going to be based on her in ring work, it will be based on the fact that no matter how good or bad she is, they will push her based off her UFC experience as being a "real" fighter and dominating opponents.

WWE has a history of deprecating their business for the sake of others. For example, having Walter Peyton, a man who has never been in a ring beat up HBK. Or Lawrence Taylor defeating Bam Bam Bigelow. They ALWAYS have outside athletes doing this. So they're going to push her as being better simply because she was in the UFC.

Asuka is the only wrestler that they are going to assume will stand toe to toe with her. Is it fair? No. I mean, despite what a few people on this site seem to think, there are MANY excellent women wrestlers in the WWE right now. There are many that in a WRESTLING match, not a UFC match, will make Ronda look like the amateur that she is. However, WWE will make it seem the opposite. And they will push Asuka as the most likely to face her. It would be irrational if they don't.

Honestly, I would like to see Charlotte or Sasha or Becky wrestle circles around Ronda. But I don't see it happening. I see dominance from two women who will eventually meet.

And that is complete & utter bullshit in my opinion...

Hell at least Shayna Baszler is down in NXT working
hard & developing as a performer.

But what about Charlotte? their tall, blonde, second generation superstar?

Do you really think the WWE will push Asuka before Charlotte? Or is it
just the fact she in undefeated?

While I expect Rousey to be an undefeated beast, I don't expect her to be an unbeatable squash monster. Why? Look at Lesnar, maybe I'm wrong, but by the looks of it he's in WWE for the quick paycheck. Rousey on the other hand wanted to go to WWE because she loves the idea of being a wrestler. I don't think Ronda would even want to be a squash monster honestly

I hope you're right Hox...because it would be kind of sad to see
Ronda booked as just another "Brock Lesnar" because for me...
that isn't something anyone truly interested in being a wrestler
should aspire to.

Forget "Another Brock Lesnar" make her the 1st Ronda Rousey...

Agreed it is indeed

It's respectable, I agree. But the old man doesn't care about that. He cares about "moments" and he will sacrifice the business for his moments. Ronda is the definition of a moment.

But what about Charlotte? their tall, blonde, second generation superstar?

The daughter of the greatest wrestler to ever lace a pair of boots and absolutely one of the best female wrestlers in the world. She'll go up against Charlotte before Asuka, I am pretty sure. Unfortunately they will probably make her lose. I don't like it, I am just telling you what I think they will do.

Do you really think the WWE will push Asuka before Charlotte? Or is it
just the fact she in undefeated?

WWE is an enigma. They pick and choose when they will capitalize on momentum. Right now, they have the opportunity to push Braun Strowman to Jupiter. He has amazing momentum. But they're wasting it. Ronda hasn't wrestled a match, but she has momentum simply by showing up. I mean, they're making a big deal out of a fucking stupid contract signing.

The reason the Asuka/Ronda connection works better than Charlotte/Ronda in Vince's mind is that Ronda is a legitimate fighter. They need to put someone against her that has the momentum to be viable. Now, I think Charlotte is viable. However, she doesn't have the momentum that Asuka has at the moment. The undefeated streak means something.

This is the point of the Nia Jax match, it's to show that Asuka is as bad ass as they can make her. She has the momentum. At the end of the match, she is going to kick Nia repeatedly until she finally goes down. The end of the match is going to be brutal because now that they have Ronda, they want to have a believable and dangerous opponent. Asuka is that opponent.

Now please don't get me wrong. You know I love Charlotte and a lot of the other ladies. This is only what I think the WWE is feeling. Is it the best path? I really don't know. We'll have to see.

This I agree with. You're right about Lesnar, he only cares about the paycheck. People thought WWE humiliated him against Goldberg, but he didn't give a shit. He just worked two minutes and flew home with a shitload of money. That's Lesnar. He doesn't really care about the business.

Ronda is a wrestling fan. Wrestling fans make good wrestlers because they know they want to WRESTLE. She will kick ass, but it will probably be a lot like Asuka. She will dominate parts of the match and she will get dominated in parts of the match. I don't know how good she will be, but we will get matches out of her. She will probably do an occasional squash, though.

Time to ship the "Old Man" off to the old folks home me thinks...

Honestly...as long as the match is competitive & entertaining
I honestly don't mind if Ronda wins. As long as they don't pull
some kind of bullshit Goldberg/Lesnar squash match.

They pick and choose when they will capitalize on momentum.
More bullshit!!!

Right now, they have the opportunity to push Braun Strowman to Jupiter. He has amazing momentum. But they're wasting it.
They should have put the Universal title on Strowman at
Summerslam 2017...he was white hot that night & the crowd
was so ready for it.

And personally I think they are slowly ruining Strowman...having
him talk, sing songs & team with Alexa Bliss...he's not scary or
intimidating anymore...he's too normal.

Remember when he just walked around, squashed people &
destroyed shit while roaring like monster? I do...and it was
great.

The reason the Asuka/Ronda connection works better than Charlotte/Ronda in Vince's mind is that Ronda is a legitimate fighter. They need to put someone against her that has the momentum to be viable.

A fair call...

The end of the match is going to be brutal because now that they have Ronda, they want to have a believable and dangerous opponent. Asuka is that opponent.
I just think the WWE is going to "Pull a Swerve" mainly because
of both Elimination Chamber matches being so predictable.

It again comes down to that obsession with moments...

"We have to do something unexpected Hunter! We have to make the fans
regret not buying tickets to our show! I've got it! Have Fatty end the Asian
stripper's undefeated streak!"

"Vince...that's a terrible idea!"

"I'm the Boss & I know best!"
