Is this where NXT is headed? Asuka and Ember Moon are likely to go one-on-one at NXT TakeOver: Orlando with many speculating that that could be the night on which Asuka tastes singles defeat for the first time in her WWE career. Fans have speculated that Ember Moon could be the one to defeat Asuka since long before the former Athena even made her televised debut, so will the assumptions of many come to pass?

Ember Moon is certainly being positioned and presented as an all-new type of challenge for Asuka, and if NXT is looking to evolve its women's division then the former AIW Women's Champion is without doubt the way forward as champion. A new generation of stars (Ruby Riot, Kimber Lee, Nikki Cross, MaryKate and more) are about to come through and after more than a year of Asuka's dominance the entire show will benefit from a more competitive women's division.

Ember defeating Asuka would also give the TakeOver: Orlando show a major boost that it may well need. With the exception of Ember/Asuka, the rumoured card doesn't inspire a whole lot of excitement - a major moment and fabulous women's match could be the boost the division sorely needs.
