5 active streaks in WWE

Bro
Brock Lesnar snapped Undertaker's winning streak at Wrestlemania 30.

When Chad Patton struck the mat thrice after Brock Lesnar delivered a third F5 on The Undertaker, one of the, if not, the greatest streaks in sports entertainment came to an end. Undertaker had won all of his 21 prior matches at Wrestlemania but succumbed to the Beast Incarnate.

This moment shook the whole WWE universe. A livid Mercedez Benz Superdome became pin drop silent in a matter of three seconds - proving how special the streak was. Let us put this in perspective. The current WWE superstar with most wins without any defeats is Rob Van Dam, who is 4-0 at Wrestlemania.

Crafting a streak requires patience. It is not something that sprouts overnight. Streaks like Goldberg's undefeated streak, Undertaker's WrestleMania streak, Asuka's unbeaten streak have come to an end sooner or later. However, there are a handful of streaks in WWE that are still active - some of them are laudable, whereas most of them are not. Let us take a look at five of them.


#5 Finn Balor - never lost a singles match at main roster PPVs

Finn
Finn Balor's demon alter ego helped him snatch 4 wins.

Finn Balor is an extremely talented superstar. Balor was the first ever Universal champion. However, he had to relinquish his title the very next day after he won due to a shoulder injury.

After returning, Balor's booking has been bad. Even after producing brilliant matches against almost everyone on the roster, the Irish superstar is given a cold shoulder by the management. However, he has a nice little winning streak to his name.

Finn Balor has never lost a singles match at a WWE PPV.

  1. At Summerslam 2016, Balor defeated Seth Rollins to become the inaugural Universal Champion.
  2. At Summerslam 2017, he defeated Bray Wyatt
  3. At No Mercy 2017, Balor defeated Bray Wyatt again.
  4. At Tables Ladders and Chairs 2017, Balor defeated AJ Styles
  5. At Extreme Rules 2018, Balor defeated Constable Corbin.
  6. At Summerslam 2018, the demon squashed Corbin.

#4 Rusev - PPV losing streak

Everyone's favourite Bulgarian has not won a PPV match in almost two years. Rusev's last PPV victory came in the pre-show of Roadblock: End of the Line 2016.

Rusev lost the 2017 Royal Rumble match, lost to Big Show at Fastlane and was sidelined until WWE Battleground, where he lost to John Cena. This was followed by a barrage of losses against Randy Orton, including their Summerslam squash match.

Rusev, teaming with Aiden English could not snatch the tag team championship at Clash of Champions. The Bulgarian also lost the 2018 Royal Rumble match. The list goes on. As of now, his last loss in a PPV was at Hell in a Cell 2018 when team Rusev Day lost to New Day.

We hope this is where his PPV losing streak ends.

#3 Cedric Alexander has not lost a singles match in more than a year

Can Cedric extend his winning streak?

Everyone knows that the current WWE Cruiserweight champion Cedric Alexander is set to defend his title against Buddy Murphy in Australia this Saturday. However, only a few know that the champ has not lost a singles match for more than a year.

His last defeat in a single's match came on the 3rd October 2017 edition of 205 live, where he lost to Gentleman Jack Gallagher via DQ.

#2 Finn Balor's other streak

Extreme R
Extreme Rules 2017.

Earlier we talked about Finn Balor's impeccable record in PPV singles matches. However, he has a horrendous record in multi-man matches in PPVs.

In his seven multi-man PPV matches, he never stood tall in the end.

  1. At Extreme Rules 2017, Balor as choked out by Samoa Joe in a fatal 5-way match.
  2. At Survivor Series 2017, Balor's team won but Balor as eliminated early into the match.
  3. Balor could not win the 2018 Royal Rumble even after putting forward a brilliant performance.
  4. Balor was eliminated by Braun at Elimination chamber 2018.
  5. Seth Rollins pinned The Miz to capture the Intercontinental championship at Wrestlemania 34.
  6. Seth Rollins snatched the IC championship in front of Balor's eyes at the Greatest Royal Rumble.
  7. Braun Strowman won the 2018 money in the bank match.

#1 Curt Hawkins' losing streak.

Curt Hawkin
Curt Hawkins is in a 219 matches losing streak.

On November 8, 2016, Curt Hawkins rolled up Apollo Crews for a surprise win. Since then, the former EdgeHead amassed over 200 losses without winning a single match. Currently, Curt Hawkins has the longest losing streak in WWE history, with over 200 loss.

WWE already planned to snap this streak on an episode of Main Event. Hawkins was scheduled to defeat Heath Slater. However, Hawkins "begged" the Creatives to overturn the decision.

The losing streak is now so popular that Hawkings got a t-shirt on WWE store, and WWE even released a 10-minute video on its video channel focusing on Hawkins' journey to the epic streak.
