Ember Moon has been pulled from tonight’s WWE NXT episode on the USA Network.
WWE just announced that Moon is now medically unable to compete, as determined by NXT medics earlier in the day.
Moon was scheduled to face Sarray in a first-time-ever match on tonight’s NXT, but now Sarray will face Dakota Kai. That match will open the show.
Kai is set to challenge NXT Women’s Champion Raquel Gonzalez at Takeover 36. Gonzalez has been announced for a segment on tonight’s show where she will address Kai’s recent attack.
In an update, Moon said she’s angry and gutted as this has been an extremely rough month for her. She apologized for this latest issue as she was looking forward to getting back on track.
“@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!,” she wrote.
Moon did not elaborate on any other recent issues, or what caused her to be pulled from the ring today.
