NXT: 5 Points to Note (August 03, 2017)

#2 The Moon just eclipsed the Sun

Will the streak finally be broken at long last?

For the first time since she arrived in the USA, NXT Women's Champion Asuka looked vulnerable. While she managed to take out Ember Moon initially, she succumbed to Moon's top rope corkscrew stunner that she likes to call 'The Eclipse'.This was during a face-to-face confrontation between the two women, ahead of their big Takeover match. This move is going to be the X-Factor when Ember Moon takes on Asuka in the rematch for the NXT Women's Championship in Brooklyn. Asuka's reign has been long and really noteworthy, but it may finally be time for a new champion. Ember Moon is a worthy contender, and the main roster really does need Asuka.

If all goes well, this could be the match of the night at the third edition of NXT Takeover: Brooklyn in just a few days.
