WWE.com announced on Monday that a ‘grade one shoulder sprain’ will prevent Ember Moon from challenging for the NXT Women’s Championship at Takeover: Chicago.
The injury occurred during last wee’s #1 Contender’s Battle Royal. She’s expected to be of action for 4-5 weeks.
The final three competitors in the Battle Royal included Ember Moon, Ruby Riot and Nikki Cross. NXT Women’s Champion Asuka hit the ring and destroyed the three women. During the attack, Ember Moon took a bad fall after being tossed from the ring by Asuka.
NXT General Manager William Regal set up a Fatal 4-Way championship match at Takeover, but now it looks like it will be a triple threat.
NXT Takeover: Chicago takes place on Saturday, May 20th from Rosemont, Illinois.
