With 10 days to go till NXT Takeover: Chicago WWE has announced that Ember Moon will be unable to compete due to an injury sustained during the ending of the Woman’s battle royal last week when Asuka made a statement as she attacked Moon, Ruby Riot, and Nikki Cross. NXT GM William Regal then made a fatal four way which will now be a triple threat match in just over a week.

From Highest of Highs to Lowest of Lows

Ember suffered a grade one sprain in her shoulder during the NXT Champion’s attack. The Empress of Tomorrow pushed Moon off the top turnbuckle before launching her through the ropes, causing Moon to fall hard on the floor. Many fans are still uncertain whether or not this was an actual injury or just part of the story

It has been stated that she will be out for 4-5 weeks but this has not phased Ember as she says she’s “gonna come back better than ever” but this will be frustrating as many feel that Ember was a heavy favorite to end the near 400-day reign as NXT Woman’s Champion.

However, even without Ember Moon, this match will steal be a great match with Asuka, Ruby Riot, nd Nikki Cross and surely this means that when Ember is fit and healthy she will get the first shot at whoever wins the match in Chicago.
