WWE.com recently held a poll, asking fans who they would like to see face the UFC’s Ronda Rousey if she were to compete in the squared circle. One major name was stunningly left out, none other than the Queen of Strong Style, Asuka!
You would think the undefeated Women’s NXT Champ, who holds the longest winning streak in modern day wrestling, would be choice #1. A perfect contender to lend mainstream credibility to an MMA/Pro-Wrestling crossover. Asuka’s immense technical move set born to rival Rousey’s Judo background.
Yet, Asuka’s name was left suspiciously out of the digital hat of choices. Reduced to a write-in, rather than the feature attraction she should be and already is in NXT.
WWE.com’s Poll Choices… Where is Asuka?
The choices available on WWE.com’s poll: Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, Stephanie McMahon, Bayley, Lana, Nia Jax, Naomi, Natalya, Alexis Bliss, Becky Lynch.
Now there are other exceptionally talented names not listed either like Mickie James, Carmella, Paige, Emma, Dana Brooke, the list goes on. No one can take away from any of these names on the poll or not, their journeys in the WWE, and competitive drive.
However, none of the choices on the poll or otherwise outside of Asuka own an undefeated streak that’s eclipsed Goldberg’s. Asuka’s undefeated streak is a marketing machine, a story that sells itself against the formerly undefeated UFC Champ Ronda Rousey. Just think of the promo potential!
The Future is Now for Asuka!
Everything about Asuka spells one of a kind. An unteachable IT factor and natural charisma that’s been the foundation of NXT for multiple years. An exclusive mesmerizing skillset in the ring. You know a first class match awaits anytime Asuka’s involved. AJ Styles-like in this regard, the AJ Styles of the women’s division.
The Queen of Strong Style has built that reputation brick by brick with strong performance after strong performance. Her vivid colorful attire reminiscent of wrestling legend The Ultimate Warrior. Asuka’s ready for prime time, the main event, a marquee matchup. She’s ready for Ronda Rousey. Asuka’s theme song is called The Future… Well, the future is now.
Ronda Rousey Matchup is a Career Changer
Think of a Ronda Rousey matchup as a literal career lottery for the women wrestlers on the roster. A Ronda Rousey encounter can catapult a career into the stratosphere! We’re talking something even five years of solid good booking cannot replicate. A trade-in of 5 years of hard work, travel, politics, lingering injuries for a single monumental feud. The potential is limitless.
We’re talking ESPN around the clock coverage, UFC/MMA fans tuning in, Ronda’s enormous fanbase watching. Just like Mike Tyson elevated Steve Austin and Shawn Michael’s rivalry to even greater levels… So too, can Ronda Rousey do for her debut match against one lucky opponent. You can’t buy this kind of publicity. McGregor/Mayweather is proof people love two universes clashing. It’s a timeless tale.
Tweet the WWE and tell them you want to see Asuka Vs Ronda Rousey today. Create History. The Mayor of Asuka City, the Empress of Tomorrow is ready.
