Predicting The WWE Main Roster Success Of Every Post-WrestleMania 34 Call-Up
5. Ember Moon
Pros: Boasts what is arguably the best finish in the entire company which, provided Mandy Rose is capable of taking it, should garner a reaction from and get her over with crowds unfamiliar with her NXT run. Ember worked the best women's matches in the company, opposite Asuka, in 2017; we know that she can deliver big on the biggest stage, even if her character work and presentation on the yellow brand was somewhat confusing. There was little definition to it, unlike Asuka and the Four Horsewomen: she simply entered the championship picture, lost, entered it again, won, and then lost. So she should fit right in on the flagship.
Cons: Less facetiously, Ember accomplished much in her programme with Shayna Baszler, selling superbly and doing so much to get the newly-minted Women's Champion and her vicious submission game over as a major deal. Is this Ember's role?
The shadow of Asuka loomed over Ember in NXT, and Shayna was always going to get the big push as a result of her Four Horsewomen credentials. We therefore have no clue about Ember's own credentials as a division talisman - though a decent run is near enough assured, given the emphasis placed on the Women's division in 2018.
Prediction: Ember, if programmed against Alexa Bliss, a tremendous segment load-bearer, should find a way to connect with the casual crowd. And, since the lower reaches of the RAW roster surely can't be trusted to work with Ronda Rousey - Rose, and this is no exaggeration, seems to botch every time she appears on television - Ember may yet receive a major match later this year.
