5 Ups & 5 Downs From Last Night's WWE Backstage (Jan 14)
1. Headbangers
No performative position should ever expose a pro wrestler, not least the warm and welcoming environment of something like a WWE Backstage time-filler, but Ember Moon's freezing up during a game night show-closer was oddly uncomfortable.
Following some twin magic from The Usos as they romped to victory with a selection of quickfire impressions and logical guesses, Moon and Xavier Woods were stumped by the former NXT Champion's struggles to think of ways to impersonate Farooq, Dude Love and, shamefully, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Moon's been excellent in an analytical role on this show, but struggles when put on the spot in quickfire situations such as these. On a show that normally only makes good on main roster creative mistakes and minutes don't feel like hours, this was some time-standing-still awkwardness she shouldn't be subjected to again.
