#2 Worst: Far too soon for Ember Moon?

Should Ember Moon have chased for a while instead?

As Mercedes Martinez said in a promo on NXT recently, Ember Moon is a woman who chokes on the big stage. As glad as we are to see her as the NXT Women's Champion and Asuka's successor (after a very good match), we wonder if she should have chased instead.

Putting the title on Peyton Royce or Nikki Cross instead of Moon would have also created a pretty interesting story in which The War Goddess, forever in sight of her destiny, but just falling short every time, could have chased for the gold.

Let's take nothing away from Ember Moon or indeed, any of the women in the roster, who put in their all. Three cheers for the women's division.
