10 Ways WWE Will Mess Up Seemingly Perfect Gimmicks
9. Ember Moon - History Repeating Itself
After a year away, Ember Moon arrived back in NXT to a massive reaction in early October. That out-of-nowhere return blew up on social media, and she seemed to be being instantly positioned as a contender for the NXT Women's Championship. Since that return, the War Goddess has only had two matches as she eases back in after a nasty layoff.
Ember Moon is just a badass character. Her mysterious witchdoctor act is the perfect blend of spooky and cool, and the Eclipse is one of the best-looking finishing moves in all of wrestling. However, she was totally misunderstood on the main roster and nobody in creative seemed to know how to use her properly.
This is more a question of 'can WWE leave her alone and book her strong?' rather than 'can WWE get the most out of her?'. It's a shame that Moon's top-tier CFO$ theme music was axed, but her character is engaging and her move-set is beautiful. More characters like Ember Moon will give NXT that zap of energy they need right now. Just let her do her thing.
