#7 Longest reigning NXT Women's Champion

"I am much better than her!"

On the yellow brand, no one was ready for Asuka. She carried the NXT Women's Championship for a record 510 days (523 according to WWE, when her relinquishing was aired after a tape delay), reigning from April of 2016 to September of 2017. Though Pete Dunne has surpassed her then modern day record with his current United Kingdom Championship reign, her record with the NXT Women's Championship is unlikely to be broken by any of her successors.

For reference, the current NXT Women's Champion, Shayna Baszler, has reigned for a combined 186 days over two reigns. She's arguably been the second most dominant champion in the title's history in terms of her booking.

She would need to reign until late November of next year to surpass Asuka's total of combined days as champion, and would need to reign until roughly March of 2020 to surpass Asuka's reign as a single, undivided run with the title. Neither scenario is likely.
