Ember Moon v
Ember Moon vs. Shayna Baszler exceeded expectations

Ember Moon: If Ember lost the NXT Women’s Championship at TakeOver: Philadelphia, we would’ve expected her to join the main roster in the not-too-distant future. However, her victory over Shayna suggests that she’ll remain in NXT for a little while yet, so we think she’ll stay with the brand at least until SummerSlam weekend.

Shayna Baszler: Of all the performers on the TakeOver: Philadelphia card, the future of Shayna is the most difficult to predict. The former UFC star is still relatively new to the sports entertainment world but she has already become the woman to beat in NXT. We think a possible alignment with Ronda Rousey, another member of MMA's Four Horsewomen, will lead to a faster call-up than anticipated, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see her on the main roster by WrestleMania 34 weekend.
