10 Things That Must Happen In NXT In 2018
9. Ember Moon Vs. Kairi Sane
NXT women’s division is in a strange state of flux right now. Asuka’s move to the main roster without losing the NXT Women’s Championship made sense in a lot of ways, but it had the knock-on effect of making the rest of the division look a little second-rate. With The Empress of Tomorrow gone, someone needs to step up and anchor the division.
A lot of the next generation of stars have also gone, adding an extra layer of uncertainty to the future of the women’s roster. There is plenty to be optimistic about of course, as there is a huge amount of talent available to NXT. One match stands out above all however, and it must happen over WrestleMania weekend.
Ember Moon is the current NXT Women’s Champion, and she absolutely must defend that title against Mae Young Classic winner Kairi Sane at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans. If that match reaches the heights it could, the developmental women’s division would be back on track and then some.
