5 questions from NXT Takeover: WarGames that most need answering

#3 Should the Mae Young Classic winner have won the title?

Right woman?

Going into the Fatal 4-way for the NXT Women's Championship, it felt like there were really only two worthy winners of the title - Kairi Sane and Ember Moon. Moon had come closer than anyone else to ending Asuka's streak and had the Empress of Tomorrow not suffered her injury, it's likely Ember would have eventually taken the belt away from her.

On the other hand, Sane was going into the match as the inaugural winner of the Mae Young Classic. The fact that she failed to gain the title might have downplayed the importance of the tournament somewhat. Perhaps it would have been better to validate Sane's achievements by gifting her the belt at the first time of asking.

Also, there might also have been a story to tell with Moon not walking away with the title. The fact that she has come so close on numerous occasions would have served to give her, even more, babyface sympathy from the NXT Universe. Fans would have rallied behind her in her ongoing attempt to claim what is rightly hers.

This would have given a whole other dimension to the feud that is likely going to occur between Sane and Moon - and could have perhaps precipitated a heel turn somewhere down the line.

The fact that Sane is still empty handed probably hurts her more as now she has to start from square one, despite proving she is worthy of winning a huge tournament. That being said, we can surely look forward to some great matches between the two of them going forward.
