Ember Moon made the save on Rhea Ripley early on in the night when Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez ambushed her. WWE NXT General Manager William Regal booked this tag team match to main event the show, where none of the Champions of the brand came out to compete.

Moon made her return to the ring after 14 months of rehab and began right from where she had left off. Even the powerful Gonzalez was no match for Moon’s speed and experience.

Kai and Gonzalez then isolated Ripley and worked on her to get back control of the match. The Nightmare tried to fight out and kicked out of a somersault backbreaker to make a tag to Moon.

Moon powerbombed Captain Kota and then connected with the Eclipse on Kai to pick up the victory. This was a good return match for Moon who showed the WWE Universe why she’s a former NXT Women’s Champion.

Returning to the squared circle on NXT could prove to be beneficial for the Superstar as she wasn’t doing much on the main roster.
