Below are some questions, along with Moon’s responses:
WWE.COM: What exactly was the injury to your shoulder?
MOON: I had a grade-one AC joint tear or, in layman terms, a separated shoulder.
WWE.COM: Take us through that moment last May when your shoulder slammed against the ringside barricade, thus causing the injury.
MOON: When I hit the barricade, I knew that I was hurt. I heard something pop in my shoulder and I initially thought it was my collarbone. The pain didn’t hit until I rolled over onto my back. I remember telling myself that it hurts, but it won’t be too bad. As soon as the medical trainers tried to move me, I realized that it was worse than I thought. I remember literally hitting the floor with my hand, realizing that I was probably going to miss NXT TakeOver: Chicago.
WWE.COM: What’s the difference between the Ember Moon of today compared to the Ember Moon who was injured two months ago?
MOON: Two months ago, Ember Moon thought she was invincible. I thought I could take the world by storm with no consequences. When I lost to Asuka, I began a downward spiral, which culminated with my injury. When you lose the ability to do what you love, it makes you rethink some life decisions, and I realized I needed to make some changes. Today I realize I’m not invincible, but I’m also in a much better mindset because I am truly ready for anything, and I train to make sure that’s the case.
