I think it's terrible and they are making it too specific that she has to win every match she is apart of. Once they said it on the Mixed Match Challenge you knew she was going to win. When they made it like her losing the Royal Rumble it would end her streak. Let's go to WWE's second longest streak, Tatanka. He lost a ton of tag team matches despite never being pinned and lost most of the battle royals he was in. They still consider his a streak. The bad thing about it, Asuka has lost tag team matches and battle royals when she was coming into the NXT on house shows, but we don't count those. Like right now I'm watching her whine on the apron as she is yelling my streak, my streak just like she did against The Miz. It's came to the point I hope it ends at Wrestlemania. I can't take another year of this as it kills the division. She has already defeated everybody on Raw so no new and interesting feuds to maintain up until Wrestlemania 35. She will burn through Smackdown's roster in a two months tops. It's just not compelling once you know Asuka's in it. She will always walk away the victor.
What are your thoughts on this streak or am I just too hard on Asuka and the way WWE's sees her streak?

Eva Marie ended her streak by eliminating her from the NXT Battle Royal. But no one brings that up :/

You have to remember with the WWE they reinforce rules whenever they please. So if tag team losses or battle royal eliminations count towards ending her streak then so be it. It’s the same way how they use the 30 day champion needs to defend their title rule for storyline reasons.
As for the streak I like it, I think Asuka is great.

The last time wrestlemania was in NOLA a certain streak was ended. Hopefully at this WM in NOLlA this streak ends!

I think people are going to get really tired of it over the course of the next year. It makes it so hard to book a character who can't lose. Look at stuff like the mixed match challenge or the women's Royal Rumble. She literally has to win or you blow the whole deal. You control the narrative but decide to write yourself into a corner? She doesn't have any mic skills, so she can't protect herself like CM Punk did when he held the title for a year. Hopefully they turn her heel about halfway through in similar fashion, though. The audience just doesn't have the tension span for this kind of thing nowadays and I'd wager most of her supporters already watched her go "undefeated" in NXT.
Kevin Nash never gets enough credit for being the guy to creatively end Goldberg's streak. It has to end. Then the talent has to use it as a springboard and become a bigger star after it's over. Guys like Goldberg and Warrior were protected by winning percentages. Asuka is a good performer. She doesn't need the gimmick of a streak to make people care about her. I have no doubt that they'll build towards the Ronda/Asuka super fight at WM35 and presumably let it close the show. I just don't know if the crowd can stay hot for Asuka long enough to get it to the place WWE thinks it's going.
WWE fans like to ride waves. Punk was a wave. Bryan was a wave. Macho Man, Shawn Michaels, Steve Austin, Eddie Guerrero, all waves. Ziggler was a wave and I'd argue that was one of the best reactions in WWE history. Roman isn't a wave. Asuka, isn't a wave. Charlotte wasn't a wave either and that's why she gets "we respect you but don't really care about you" reactions. It's fine to crown a chosen one, as the wave riders need that adversity, just like Austin needed Rock, but those people are called antagonists. That's psychology in storytelling. So just like Roman, I think this Asuka thing can go south if they don't play their hand right.

It's working right now. It will end in due time, and they need to be conscious of the right time to pull the trigger. But, for the time being, I don't see a problem.

I think it’s stupid honestly. They should cut her schedule and not make her wrestle EVERY Raw. Put her on the PPVs and make it mean something that matches are something. No one expects her to lose a 5 minute throw away match against whoever on a random Raw

I hate asuka and her streak. From day one i never understood the hype. No appeal to her at all. I hate how she shouts during her matches and I can't wait for the day when she eventually loses. The women's division doesn't deserve to just be buried because they want to keep some streak alive. We get it, she's suppose to be powerful, we've suffered through like 3 years of it. But if this is all she's got she can leave. Wouldn't miss her in the least if she was gone.

I love Asuka and her streak. It's one of my favorite things ever. It makes me look forward to her matches.

I don't ever like undefeated streaks, but it works with Asuka. I would go into her NXT matches like, "I'd be okay if Asuka lost tonight." Then she'd come out and I'd be like, "Nah, Asuka's tremendous, she gotta win."
I'm almost certain she ends up losing her first match to Ronda Rouseym, maybe at SummerSlam. It'll be interesting to see how they handle her after that. Goldberg was never the same after his streak ended. Asuka's about a trillion times better, but still.

Like tatanka or anyone else who had a good streak, after their first loss they magically lose a lot soon after.
