Although the Female Revolution has lost some momentum this 2017 compared to the previous year, several achievements in the form of stipulations (Money in the Bank, Last Woman Standing) have added prestige to the division in recent months. But above all, the figure of Asuka stands out, a wrestler who has already made history under NXT and promises to continue on this path within Raw. On Monday, we were able to witness her match against Dana Brooke, which resulted in two alleged records: the fastest submission and victory (clean without distraction or interference) ever to occur in WWE.
Asuka breaks two records in Monday Night Raw
However, the last record must be clarified, as it does not represent the quickest victory. And for those who speculate, do not think of a great champion or dominant figure, like Brock Lesnar or Stone Cold. The Superstar who holds this honor is Jerry Lawler.
Back in 2000, on the September 4th edition of Raw, "The King" was in the middle of an angle with Tazz, and that night a tag team match was stipulated, with the first one getting Chris Jericho as his partner, while the second had to wait to find out his partner until the start of the hostilities. To the surprise and desolation of Tazz, this turned out to be Mideon in his underwear; a ridiculous and inconsequential character that Dennis Knight portrayed during his last stage in WWE. Taking advantage of the situation, Lawler applied a roll-up on the ECW legend, becoming the victory (and defeat) with the shortest duration in four decades of McMahon's product: 3 seconds.
This mentioned match holds the record, but there is another that also comes very close to that short period of time. Survivor Series 1998 was supposed to have a Triple H vs. The Rock match as the last first-round match, but Hunter's absence caused Big Boss Man to take his place. What he couldn't predict is that he would be pinned faster than he could spin his baton, just as he entered the ring. Until Lawler's record, The Rock achieved the feat here of having the fastest victory, and it is still officially considered by WWE.
Nevertheless, Asuka's exhibition did not need a record to indicate to us that, for now, they continue to bet on maintaining that aura of supremacy. Remember that the Japanese remains undefeated individually since she first stepped into a ring of this company, two years ago.
