Dakota Kai and Ember Moon were scheduled for a contest on WWE NXT. The two superstars have been involved in some brawls over the past few weeks. A match was booked to set the stage for a bigger match at NXT TakeOver: In Your House.

The captain of Team Kick took the fight to Moon early and kept her at bay. She used some of her best moves to nearly end the match early on.

The former NXT Women’s Champion bounced back and hit Kai with a powerbomb. Raquel Gonzalez tried to attack Moon outside the ring, but The War Goddess took her and Kai out with a suicide dive.

She looked set to pick up victory with an Eclipse before Gonzalez ruined her plans. She attacked her challenger and caused Kai's disqualification in the process.

Afterward, The Shenom continued to have the upper hand. She dodged a single-arm powerbomb into Stunner, followed by an Eclipse to Gonzalez.

NXT has done well to build Moon as a threat to Gonzalez after just one match. Fans can expect a competitive match between the two top superstars on Sunday.
