Asuka will most likely not be moving up to the main roster in the immediate future, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, who said he expects her to be in NXT “for a while.” However, “a while” could just mean a few months.
She has been wrestling on SmackDown house shows recently and has been rumored to even possibly make a surprise appearance in the SmackDown Women’s Championship match at WrestleMania, so there has been speculation that she will be joining the main roster soon.
Her current undefeated streak is 159 wins, which is 14 short of Goldberg’s 173 match win streak that WWE acknowledges. WWE and Goldberg have both made references to her streak.
She’s scheduled to face Ember Moon for the NXT Women’s Championship at NXT TakeOver this Saturday night.
