5 best NXT superstars of 2017

#4 Ember Moon

Moon culminated a tremendous 2017 by capturing the NXT women's championship.

If there was ever a talent who faced adversity and had to overcome it to be successful it was Ember Moon. While it may have always seemed possible, even probable, for Moon to capture the NXT women's championship, it may not have always been planned to be this way. Her year saw her faced with challenges from some of the best talents on the roster, including the Iconic duo and Nikki Cross. However, Moon's greatest challenge remained her uphill battle facing NXT women's champion Asuka.

Each time Moon faced Asuka, she came up short, but with each match, she appeared to be closer to being successful than the last. Also, the triple threat NXT women's championship match that pitted Asuka, Ruby Riot and Nikki Cross against one another should have been a fatal four way involving Moon. However, Moon was forced to sit on the shelf due to an injury. As a result, she was faced with not only returning to action but returning to a high-level of competition in doing so. She certainly did so, earning her a spot on this list.
