The Raw After Mania is often a launching pad for new stars and tonight’s episode of Raw<\/strong><\/em> continued that trend as two NXT Superstars made their debut on the main roster as the newest members of Monday Night Raw<\/em>. First, former NXT Women’s Champion Ember Moon<\/strong> joined forces with new Raw Women’s Champion Nia Jax<\/strong> to defeat Alexa Bliss<\/strong> and Mickie James<\/strong>, followed by the debut of No Way Jose<\/strong>, who defeated enhancement talent John Skyler<\/strong> (from PWX). For fans of NXT, no introduction is necessary, but for those who don’t follow WWE’s third brand on the WWE Network, here’s a little info on the two newest Raw Superstars.<\/p>\n

Ember Moon is an 11-year veteran of the ring, starting out in 2007 with Professional Championship Wrestling (PCW)<\/strong> in Texas as Athena<\/strong>. She soon progressed to Anarchy Championship Wrestling (ACW)<\/strong> in Austin before working with Booker T<\/strong>‘s Reality of Wrestling (ROW)<\/strong> in 2009. It wasn’t long before she became a regular with the likes of SHIMMER, WSU<\/strong> and SHINE<\/strong>, as well as other top indies like AAW<\/strong> and AIW<\/strong> (where she was a 2x AIW Women’s Champion). She signed with WWE in 2015 and debuted in NXT, originally under her real name, Adrienne Reese, before becoming Ember Moon the following year. She had a lengthy feud with Asuka<\/strong> in NXT (a feud that goes back to 2012 in SHIMMER) before finally capturing the NXT Women’s Championship at NXT Takeover: War Games<\/strong> <\/em>in a Fatal 4-Way against Kairi Sane, Peyton Royce<\/strong> and Nikki Cross<\/strong>. She held the title for 140 days until losing it to Shayna Baszler<\/strong> this past Saturday at NXT Takeover: New Orleans.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
