Wrestling needs to be fun right now, not just for me but for everyone, and I’m going to bring that in NXT." There are going to be a lot of new matchups. I’ll be showing off myself in a new way for the first time, and I can’t wait for people to say, ‘Holy crap, I forgot how good Ember Moon is.' The landscape has drastically changed in NXT since I was last here.

Now we’ll see how the new Ember Moon fits into the mix. "The NXT women’s division is so diverse, and we know the standard that was set by the women who were there before us. But the one good part was that I got to be home with my husband for the first time since we were married. "Realizing I was hurt and that I was forced to be away from what I loved, that was the hardest part. On getting to spend time with her husband while she was off with her injury: So I went to the doctor, and that’s how I found out I tore my Achilles." The next day, I went to get some food, and I fell over. I thought I was fine, I had no pain, and then I went on my flight. It felt like my foot went through the floor. I remember going through the curtain behind Truth and Carmella, and he was dumping her down, and I just hit the brakes so hard. There was a Raw in San Francisco, and I had a match with Lacey Evans, which I felt great about. I came back and got drafted to SmackDown, which was awesome because I always wanted to be on the blue brand, but couldn’t get my stride going. I ended up finding out I was hurt before the Rumble, and did immediate surgery after my elbow got locked into a 90-degree angle. I couldn’t ask for a better team to support me, and it was so amazing to be there on the first night of the Capitol Wrestling Center."

It reminded me that NXT is the place where I’m meant to be. I think it may have broke the internet for a hot minute. Then I took off the helmet, and it was an outstanding, memorable moment. All I could think was, ‘Crap, did I even shut the visor to the helmet?’ If you look quickly, I grab my helmet and checked. My nerves kept building as I was walking out to the stage. She’s stunning in the ring, and I want to wrestle her, too. I didn’t even know Toni Storm was popping up on the monitor right before me. "I was nervous and I wasn’t certain how I would be received. And they were like, ‘Let’s do it!’ There is a video game I play, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, where there are these two dueling voices and you have to listen closely, and we did something similar for the surprise, which was absolutely amazing" I wanted elements of The Masked Singer so we could have clues to keep people guessing. The NXT creative team is absolutely amazing, and they got this massive set for me.
