8 Current WWE Women Superstars Who Wrestled For Shimmer Wrestling

#5 Ember Moon

Ember Moon as Athena

The "War Goddess" Ember Moon left a lasting mark on NXT thanks in large part to her fantastic feud with Asuka. However, Ember made her wrestling debut for Shimmer in September 2010, working under the ring name Athena. During her time with the company, Athena wrestled the likes of Mia Yim, Candice LeRae, Saraya Knight (Paige's mother), Mercedes Martinez and her future NXT rival Asuka, then going by the ring name Kana.

She wrestled for Shimmer and other independent organizations, including Women Superstars Uncensored, Anarchy Championship Wrestling, Inspire Pro Wrestling and Booker T's Reality Of Wrestling (then known as Pro Wrestling Alliance) up through 2014 and 2015. After a failed WWE Performance Center try out, a chance encounter with fellow Shimmer alum Paige convinced her to give her WWE dreams just one more shot.

She made her official WWE debut at an NXT live event in October of 2015.
