Ember Moon Injury Confirmed; Set To Miss NXT Takeover

Last 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.

In two weeks’ time at NXT Takeover – Chicago, Asuka was scheduled to 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 meant Asuka did not have to get pinned neither she does not have to submit to lose her title this time.

But the question remained if Ember Moon would 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 had been confirmed by WWE on their twitter account as they tweeted;

So Ember Moon will definitely miss out on the action at NXT Takeover – Chicago. What would happen now? Will this match become a triple threat match with the remaining three women excluding Ember Moon? Or will someone replace Ember? Either one of Billy Kay and Peyton Royce is already favourite to fill Ember’s vacant spot. It would be interesting to see how they handle the situation.
