This week on NXT taping, a 15 woman battle royal was organised to determine the No 1 contender for the NXT Women’s Championship. The winner will meet Asuka for the NXT Women’s championship at the NXT Takeover – Chicago.
This battle royal included some unknown faces except NXT women like indie star Candice LeRae. All the NXT women wrestlers participated in this match.
The final three competitors of the match were Nikki Cross, Ember Moon and Ruby Riot. When these wrestlers were fighting for the right to face Asuka at Takeover for the NXT Women’s championship Asuka interfered and beat down all three women. General manager William Regal had to come out to handle the situation as he informed that at NXT Takeover – Chicago, Asuka will defend her Women’s championship against all three women that were beaten down by her.
So, in three weeks’ time at NXT Takeover – Chicago, Asuka will defend her NXT Women’s championship against Nikki Cross, Ember Moon and Ruby Riot in a fatal 4-way match and it will not be an elimination match. That means Asuka did not have to get pinned neither she does not have to submit to lose her title this time.
But will Ember Moon be able to compete at Takeover? After the assault from Asuka, it seemed like Ember got seriously hurt. Asuka threw Ember out of the ring and her shoulder directly crashed into the barricade. It looked like this collision gave her a real injury.
The injury is also being focused on the social media, but it is not confirmed if it is a real injury or a kayfabe injury. Or, if there is any injury at all.
If the injury is real and it is serious, who will replace Ember at Takeover? Will there be any other match to put someone on her vacant position? Or will it become a simple triple threat match? We need to wait till next week to get all these answers.
