Predicting How And When Every Injured WWE Star Will Return

9. Ember Moon

Ember Moon has been a part of WWE's main roster since April 2018, but it wasn't until last summer that she finally got her big break upon her move to SmackDown in the Superstar Shake-Up.

She quietly built momentum and earned herself a shot at Bayley's SmackDown Women's Championship at SummerSlam. Unfortunately, their match left a lot to be desired, and following Moon's loss, she returned to being a background player before suffering an Achilles injury in October.

The War Goddess has since revealed in an interview with Booker T that she got hurt while chasing the 24/7 Championship with the rest of the directionless women, meaning that pointless belt can be blamed for Moon having to miss almost a year of in-ring time.

During her appearance on WWE Backstage in November, she said she'll be out of action indefinitely, but similar to Xavier Woods, the timetable for any Achilles injury tends to be six to 12 months. She, too, won't be seen for some time, but at least that means her inevitable return will be that much bigger.

WWE wasn't doing anything of note with her prior to her injury, but the SmackDown's women's division could use a babyface like her at the moment. Moon going back after a heel Bayley for the belt would have the potential to be a strong program.
