"I'm very open about this" - Ember Moon on being afraid of heights
Ember Moon revealed that she has done a lot of crazy stuff during her time on the independent scene but she never had the urge to do a steel cage match. Ember Moon further stated that part of her wanted to never do a steel cage because she is afraid of heights.
"It's crazy because I've never had the urge to be in a steel cage. Like I've done a lot of crazy stuff on the independent scene from thumbstacks to glass to, you know, TLC matches to anything and everything under the sun. I've done it on the independent scene but like when you get to WWE it's a whole new level. And a part of me never wanted to do a steel cage match because Ember Moon is afraid of heights (laughs) and I'm very open about this."
Ember Moon was part of Team Shotzi at NXT TakeOver: WarGames 2020 and delivered an amazing performance with several high flying moves. However, they were defeated in the match by Team Candice (Candice LeRae, Dakota Kai, Raquel Gonzalez, and Toni Storm).
