We like her, she's a sweet girl, we think this will be a fun match, you two are in the main event.' Cool, that sounds great, I'm never going to say no to having a match on TV, regardless of where it's airing. Moon continued by saying, "That match gets pulled from TV and one of the head coaches goes, 'will you do me a favor and work 205 Live with Cora Jade. Moon was scheduled to wrestle Sarray on the Augepisode of NXT, but was pulled from the bout. 'We'll do the match next week.' Three weeks later, 'we're going to do this match,'" she recalled. I had an allergic reaction to something and they thought it was something else, so they pulled me from the match. I was supposed to do a match with Sarray and ended up getting a rash on my arm. 'Don't worry, we got this.' Then, Hunter disappeared. 'This is a great idea, we have ABCD, we'll do your first feud with this person.' Then the first match happened and I'm off TV for four weeks. Let me do a losing streak, let me get frustrated, and let me turn. I love this business so much that I didn't mind. That was my thought, 'let me do the losing streak.' I see the new faces coming through and part of my job at NXT was to help new talent on TV, which I get. During this process, we wanted to do a losing streak. "Me, Hunter, and the head writer at the time had come up with doing a heel turn with me because it was new and different. It's all about not making waves."Īfter Shotzi was moved to the main roster, Ember came up with a storyline to help herself and younger talent. That's fine, yes.' You're just having to eat the shit sandwich and smile with shit in your teeth a lot of times. It's not like we were front page (of the website) when we won the titles. 'It's cool, we get it, we're down in NXT. ![]() The problem I had was, some of these new writers were coming from Raw and SmackDown, 'we had no idea you and Shotzi were a tag team.' A lot of WWE backstage is having to play the game. Bayley had gotten injured, I know Shotzi and Tegan were doing dark matches for a tryout anyway. ![]() ![]() "I remember thinking - I was sitting at home and I got a phone call saying, 'Hey, we don't want you to be upset, but Shotzi just got moved to SmackDown and she's debuting with Tegan Nox as a tag team.' I was sitting there and I'm getting this phone call about her getting drafted, 'Oh my God, I'm so happy for her,' and then the tag team thing popped up and I was like, 'but we're the tag team and we have merch and we're doing fun things and we had just gotten into our groove with the banter.' They were like, 'Don't worry, we have something for you.' 'Okay, cool.' I remember going to Hunter and he was like, 'I have no clue what's happening, we'll figure it out together.' That was so much of what I needed at the time because no one knew what was happening. It started with Shotzi being gone and drafted," Ember told Chris Van Vliet on Insight. "My last four months was just one of those moments where I wasn't having fun anymore. The split left Ember as a singles competitor in NXT, leading to a lack of direction and frustrations on her part. Moon was in a tag team with Shotzi Blackheart before Shotzi was called up to the main roster and started teaming with Tegan Nox.
