![]() It's an amazing time to be a woman in sports entertainment not just in WWE, but in the indies too. It's crazy, overwhelming, emotional, and, crap, how can it get any better than this? It will one day, but man being there in that moment it's surreal.Ģ018 has been great for women's wrestling. ![]() I need to try harder because they want me to. It's such an emotional overflow of "oh my god, they like me." I know I sound like a big nerd right now, but it's overwhelming to have that. Halfway through there were so many women still in the ring, not just me. I don't expect people to like or hate me, so I had no expectations going into the match. I was at the Evolution show and your part in the Women's Battle Royal had the place rocking. The only way to describe this year is crazy. How can I have done so much in such a short amount of time? Everyone seems to think a year is a long time, but here it's not. To sit here and think back at being part of the first women's rumble, at the first-ever WWE women's pay-per-view. Whoa I did that too." Everyone wants to make their mark, everyone wants their name written down in history. I'm serious though, it's unreal you say these things that I've done and I'm like "whoa I did do that. In one word how would you describe your year?Ĭrazy. You've done a lot in 2018, being NXT women's champion, being a part of the first Women's Royal Rumble, Evolution. It's a love/hate thing with a lot of it, but it's so cool to see all these women who you start out with, like Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose, just flourish and grow and I miss seeing that. And then coming here and having my friends from the independent scene come up, like Mia Yim and Dakota Kai. Just being around the women, and the amount we bonded together, it kind of broke my heart to leave Kairi and Lacey Evans, and Bianca Belair, and Candice Lerae. You're basically at the WWE Performance Center and just being around the coaches and having all that knowledge is one place. To be honest, I miss the people I spent so much time with in NXT. I feel that keeps me constantly evolving and coming up with something new to bust out. I treat every match like I have something to prove, which I do. it's weird, I don't know how to explain it. And it's weird because you'll feel like it's your first match every time you go out there - "I don't know if they're going to like me". I'm always overwhelmed when I get positive reactions and feedback. I don't ever really expect anything to be honest. Just keep impressing people, evolving and do what I do best.ĭid you have certain expectations about the main roster before getting there? Were they met? There's no time to sleep, you know? You can't get content. You do get the benefit of debuting on the RAW after 'Mania where most of those fans are NXT fans but for me it's about proving myself all over again. And going from that and starting over on Monday Night RAW, not knowing if people knew who I was, if they were going to like me. It's basically starting all over because at NXT I was the big dog, I was the Women's Champion, and I have been going strong for awhile. ![]() You mentioned being at Tribute to the Troops last year as a part of NXT and now you're on the main roster. Note: This interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity. ![]() on USA Network as part of WWE Holiday Week Tribute to the Troops will air this Thursday at 9 p.m. Newsweek caught up with Moon to talk about a wide range of topics including this year's Tribute to the Troops special, her transition from NXT to Monday Night RAW, and her love of Dungeons and Dragons. "So I felt a very personal connection, like I had to go above and beyond what I felt I should because as a Texan I just had to bring it all the way." This year I get to be there as a member of the RAW roster, also it's in my home state," Moon told Newsweek. "I was at last year's Tribute to the Troops as the NXT Women's Champion, which was awesome. The Garland, Texas native took part in this year's event, the 16th in the company's history. ![]() This year, the event took place in Fort Hood, Texas a town WWE Superstar Ember Moon is familiar with. Tribute to the Troops is a special event where WWE Superstars put on a show for the men and women of the armed forces, and then spend some extra time meeting them and boosting morale. ![]()
