There was a huge mystery character to be unveiled for NXT. A warning video was released earlier to mark the surprise.Much like SmackDown’s mystery woman, NXT’s one was set to make an appearance.
Following Io Shirai’s successful title defines against Candice LeRae, the camera shifted to a scene outside the arena. We could see the motorcycle pull up, and a lean figure with a jacket got off.
THIS. NOW. PLEASE.

We still couldn’t identify the character even when it came to the light as it was still wearing its helmet. It soon became apparent that this was a female Superstar.
As she entered the ringside area, the helmet was taken off and it was none other than Ember Moon! She was back, and she’s here for the gold.
