Even after losing the NXT Women’s Championship to Shayna Baszler at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans on Saturday night, it is apparent that Ember Moon is set to soon make a major impact on the WWE women’s evolution.
Moon tasted defeat in New Orleans after the referee called for the bell while she was locked in the Kirifuda Clutch.
Moon tried desperately to reach the ropes or force Baszler to break the hold.Baszler did well to keep Moon in the middle of the ring, and eventually the champion passed out, thus leaving the official no choice but to end the match.
Moon fell just short of winning the NXT Championship from Asuka on multiple occasions, but after The Empress of Tomorrow was called up to the main roster last year, she won the vacant title and became the unquestioned face of the NXT women’s division.
It was a fragile time for women’s wrestling in NXT. However, Moon managed to hold down the fort and bridge the gap until reinforcements such as Baszler and Kairi Sane were added to the roster.
Now that the NXT women’s division has been reloaded with talent, it seems likely that the time is near for Moon to become a major player on the main roster.
A golden opportunity could await her on the WrestleMania stage, as women from Raw, SmackDown Live and NXT are all scheduled to take part in the inaugural WrestleMania women’s Battle Royal.
