WWE: 15 Predictions for 2017
By Carl Gac
10. Asuka Ends 2017 Still Undefeated
One thing is certain in WWE, Asuka will be the big dog of the NXT Women’s Division for as long as she sees fit, and nobody will be able to stop her. Since making her NXT arrival back in the Fall of 2015, nobody has been able to defeat Asuka. That steak will not be ended in the entire year of 2017 either.
During her time in NXT, Asuka has faced and beaten a whole host of women, and rarely looked troubled. Dana Brooke, Emma, Bayley, Nia Jax and most recently the returning Mickie James are amongst those that have been beaten by the current NXT Women’s Champion.
Asuka has a hard striking, submission style that has seen her rule the NXT Women’s Division since day one in the company. 2017 doesn’t look like bringing up a ready-made successor to Asuka’s throne in NXT, but may bring her some decent matches against the likes of Kimber Lee, Heidi Lovelace and Nixon Newell as the year goes on.
Until WWE sees another female that can carry the NXT Women’s Division, then Asuka will continue to be unbeaten and may very well head to the main roster with that title around her waist.
