Following her return at Sunday’s “Takeover: 31” event, Ember Moon took to Twitter today and said RAW and SmackDown were good for her, but WWE NXT is where it’s at.
“@wwenxt Sometimes to move forward you must go back! Red and blue were good but my heart and soul has always bled black and yellow,” Moon wrote.
Takeover saw Moon revealed as the mystery former champion that has been teased for the past few weeks. After NXT Women’s Champion Io Shirai retained over Candice LeRae, Toni Storm appeared on the big screen and announce that she is coming to the main NXT brand from NXT UK, and has her eyes on the title. Moon then made her return and removed her motorcycle helmet for the big reveal.
Former NXT Champion Bo Dallas was one of the main named speculated on in the weeks leading up to the mystery Superstar reveal. Moon acknowledged that in her first tweet after returning last night.
She wrote, “If you #BOlieve … anything can happen!”
Below is post-match video of McKenzie Mitchell catching up with Moon backstage at the Capitol Wrestling Center.
“All you need to know is Ember Moon is NXT, baby,” Moon said.
