As we reported yesterday here on eWn, Ember Moon was pulled from this week’s episode of NXT as she was not medically cleared to compete. Due to this, Dakota Kai replaced her and went on to face Sarray. Moon took to Twitter following NXT, saying,
“@wwenxt This has been an extremely rough month, I am angry and gutted! I was really looking forward to this match and getting back on track but just got another pothole in the road. I’m sorry!”
