Sportskeeda WWE Awards 2017: NXT Superstar of the year

Modified Dec 29, 2017 15:19 GMT

Which men and women in NXT impressed us in 2017?

#3 Ember Moon

Ember Moon's story was one of tragedy and triumph

Unlike Aleister Black, Ember Moon's story did not see her vanquishing every single opponent. Instead, her saga was one of perseverance and not letting herself get bogged down, in the quest for gold and glory.

Even though she failed to capture the NXT Women's Championship several times, she finally managed to defy the odds and realize her dream at NXT Takeover: WarGames. NXT told a great story with her, of sheer tragedy and triumph. Needless to say, she's a great hand in the ring.

We see Moon as a top babyface in the months that follow. With Asuka gone, she bears the burden of leading the charge in the NXT Women's Division.

Also, her spellbinding finisher, 'The Eclipse', is just a wonderful sight to behold.
