In a post-match interview with <strong>Kayla Braxton<\/strong>, Bayley decided to declare a challenge to her partner for <em><strong>SummerSlam<\/strong><\/em>, with an emphatic response, Ember Moon accepted the challenge. Week after week, both were found in precarious situations in which one of them was being attacked and the other would have to save them, and then they would get saved and attacked by their opponent to break even.<\/p>\n<p>This match, unfortunately, suffers from a severe lack of heat between the two. It\u2019s a babyface vs. babyface match, in theory, there isn\u2019t anything wrong with it. However, at the same time, it\u2019s tough to give a good story when there\u2019s no heat. Regardless, with the time given this on paper should be a stellar match between the two former <strong>NXT<\/strong> Women\u2019s Champions.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_52227\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-52227\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-52227\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprowrestling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2019\/08\/bayley-ember-2.jpg\" alt=\"Bayley Ember Moon\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2019\/08\/bayley-ember-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2019\/08\/bayley-ember-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2019\/08\/bayley-ember-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2019\/08\/bayley-ember-2-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2019\/08\/bayley-ember-2-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2019\/08\/bayley-ember-2-747x420.jpg 747w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-52227\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo \/ WWE<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The key for this match is The Eclipse. If Bayley gets hit with The Eclipse, it will be over. It\u2019s about making sure that Moon doesn\u2019t get the advantage to use the move and at this point, Bayley is such a solid all-around wrestler in her own right, she could match the intensity with Ember Moon.
