WWE announced today that NXT Women’s Champion Asuka broke her right collarbone during her match with Ember Moon this past Saturday at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III. The typical recovery time for the injury is 6-8 weeks.

“During the match, she landed awkwardly from a throw from Ember Moon and was able to complete the match, but had notable pain and discomfort,” ringside physician Dr. Jeffrey Westerfield said. “We performed an initial ultrasound backstage that was highly suspicious of a break that was later confirmed by an X-ray.”

No timetable has been given for Asuka’s return. The next set of NXT tapings takes place this Thursday at Full Sail University.

WWE NXT Women’s Champion Asuka has passed Rockin’ Robin’s 502 days as WWE Women’s Champion and is now the longest-reigning women’s champion of any kind, and the longest-reigning champion in WWE history (besides the years-long reigns by Hulk Hogan, Bob Backlund, Pedro Morales and Bruno Sammartino that will likely never be surpassed). Asuka is set to defend her title against Ember Moon at Saturday’s NXT “Takeover: Brooklyn III” event.

Below are comments from Bill Goldberg and Kevin Nash on the streak:
