The undefeated streak is one of the greatest tools in wrestling to build someone up as a star. Making a Superstar look unstoppable not only helps elevate them to the top of the company but it also makes whoever does eventually beat them look like a massive deal.

An undefeated streak statistic helps build intrigue and excitement for feuds with the Undertaker at Wrestlemania. Over the last decade, Undertaker's matches became star attractions at Wrestlemania because his undefeated 'Mania streak was on the line, with people wanting to see if maybe this year was the year 'Taker would lose.

With that in mind, we list the five current WWE Superstars that think would benefit from going on an undefeated streak.


#5 Finn Balor (As the Demon)

I've never been a big fan of Finn Balor's 'Demon' character because it seems pointless. Nothing about Balor's behaviour changes in the ring when he's the demon; he doesn't use different moves and he isn't more aggressive. It seems like the 'Demon' character is only for the entrance.

However, adding a nice statistic to the mix, suggesting that when Finn Balor is the 'Demon' that he's unbeatable would help to justify the theatrics of it all and also explain why Balor even bothers transforming at all.

Imagine if four, or five years down the line, we can say that no-one has ever beaten the 'Demon' inside the ring, it would certainly make Balor more interesting to me.

#4 Braun Strowman

At TLC 2017 it may have taken a trash compactor to put Braun Strowman down, but there's no denying that the main event, in general, did nothing to help paint Strowman as the unstoppable monster that he should be.

Part of the reason for this is because of the booking for the TLC main event in general. Strowman alone should have been enough to tip the balance significantly against The Shield, but when Kane was added it only served to lower the impact of Strowman's addition, as well as reduce intrigue in the main event.

Now that it looks like Strowman is heading towards a collision course with Kane, Strowman absolutely has to put "The Big Red Monster" away, and then continue to look dominant and beat whoever they put in front of him for the foreseeable future.

#3 Jinder Mahal

Jinder Mahal needs to be built up so that people take his title run seriously

This is a controversial pick, but again, part of the reason behind the lacklustre reception to Jinder Mahal's lengthy SmackDown LIVE title run is because of the way he's been booked to narrowly win matches, and to win by cheating, usually with the help of the Singh Brothers.

I'm confident if the WWE started portraying Mahal to be more dominant in the ring, and win matches on his own, that the attitude toward him will significantly improve. Now, whether or not that starts with a win over Brock Lesnar is anyone's guess, but there's no denying that a win over "The Beast Incarnate" would help towards people taking Jinder Mahal seriously.

But, regardless of whether or not Jinder Mahal beats Brock Lesnar, there's no denying that a strong series of victories would do wonders for the current WWE Champion's image, especially heading into the WWE's tour of India.

#2 Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin

American Alpha was literally at the height of tag-team popularity on NXT, but for some reason, their SmackDown LIVE call-up failed to continue the momentum they'd built for themselves on the yellow brand.

Now, Jason Jordan finds himself on Raw, and Chad Gable is in a new tag-team with the technically better performer in Shelton Benjamin. Gable and Benjamin are in the early stages of their tag team but have recently become #1 contenders for The Usos' titles.

I believe that Gable and Benjamin have all of the tools to be a top tag-team, not just on SmackDown LIVE, but in modern WWE tag-team history. That's why the WWE should book them incredibly strongly from this point forward, making them the tag-team to beat.

#1 Asuka

Asuka's undefeated streak should not end anytime soon

I'll admit that this one is a bit of a cop-out because the recently called-up Asuka is technically already on a 510-day undefeated streak, as she was unbeaten during her NXT Women's Championship run.

However, "The Empress of Tomorrow" has only been on the main roster for two weeks and is currently 2-0, having beaten Emma at TLC 2017 and again on the following Monday Night Raw, meaning that we're still early days into her main roster run.

I see absolutely no reason why the WWE would need to deviate from the norm with Asuka and have her lose a match anytime soon, even by disqualification or count-out. If they want her to be as big of a star as she clearly can be, they need to keep her undefeated streak going for as long as they possibly can.
