Ember Moon may have suffered an injury at tonight's WWE NXT TV tapings from Full Sail University.
A battle royal to crown a new #1 contender to NXT Women's Champion Asuka was taped for the May 17th episode. We have full spoilers on how the match ended at this link. We also have a spoiler on Asuka's challenger for "Takeover: Chicago" at this link.
During the match, Ember was knocked from the top rope to the floor. Our correspondent noted that she essentially did a suicide dive and nailed the guardrail with her shoulder. The match soon ended while Ember was seen crying at ringside. She was helped to the back by referees and medics.
It would be one thing if it looked totally badass and she got injured, but that just looked nonsensical and totally unnatural the way she lunged off there.
If Ember is really injured, then screw waiting months for Hojo and Shirai (who hasn't even signed as far as we know). Give it to Nikki and shake things up sooner rather than later. Asuka can still face the other two later on.
Speaking of putting your body out in spectacularly stupid fashion
Kairi Hojo, who has a history of concussions, was rushed to the emergency room on 4/15 after her match in Yokohama after complaining of pain in the back of her head after the show. She had teamed with Hiromi Mimura & Konami vs. Hana Kimura & Rosa Negra (who is Kobra Moon in Lucha Underground) & Kagetsu and she was laid out for two or three minutes after the match, which was a first-round match in a four-team trios title tournament. Hojo was X-rayed and diagnosed as not having a concussion and cleared to wrestle.

She landed right in front of me, and with the sound her arm made hitting the guardrail, combined with her just bawling in tears, I was sure she had hurt herself. I could totally see her just being banged up after it and not full blown hurt, but it's weird she didn't work the Tampa or Crystal River house shows.
Nattie was at the PC earlier, and tweeted this photo. As you can see, on the left of the picture, Ember has her arm in a sling so it seems she's legit injured. I'd imagine WWE won't post an update until the episode airs, which will be next week in the Battle Royal.
That was really strange. If she is out, at least it comes at a time when a decent number of good perforumers are entering NXT's women's division. Really sucks if she's hurt though, but it does look like it was her own fault.
Hopefully it's not as bad as first seems. If it is, I'd bypass these two fighting over the title in NXT, and move it onto the main roster and make it personal. I've got a feeling that Asuka might be on the way up very soon.
Completely unnecessary bump to take! Looked like she was doing a bump Mysterio used to do except going 2 as fast and flying into a guard rail. Hope its not too serious.
