Ember Moon was recently interviewed by the Miami Herald prior to Money in the Bank. During the interview, she revealed her reaction when she was told that she was getting called up from NXT to the WWE main roster. Ember was called up to Monday Night RAW on the episode after Wrestlemania 34.
Here is what she said:
“That weekend was such a blur, because it was coming off Mania Week, but I remember being pulled into a room with [WWE executive vice president of talent, live events and creative] Triple H, [WWE assistant head coach/NXT producer] Sara Amato and [WWE head coach] Matt Bloom, and I thought I was in trouble for some reason. Oh no.
“I don’t ever do anything wrong, but I’m like, ‘Oh God. I did something wrong. What is it?’ Like it’s a kid stealing a cookie and getting caught. They were like, ‘We just want to thank you for the awesome match at TakeOver [New Orleans]. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for NXT. You’re going to Monday Night Raw.’
Ember also revealed her first words after getting the news:
“I was like, ‘What? Hold on. Hold on,’ and I remember I broke down, and I started crying, and a camera came out of nowhere, and it was in my face, and I was like, [sounding emotional], ‘Why do you guys have to ruin everything with cameras.’ [chuckles]. That’s the first words I said, after finding out I’m on Monday Night Raw.”
