Ember Moon (c) vs Shayna Baszler – NXT Women’s Championship
Probably the least exciting match on the card, but given what it’s up against, that’s not really a surprise.
In my honest opinion, which I know is what you all really care about, Baszler is still very green in the ring and struggles to sell moves so that they look even remotely painful. She is, of course, new to the wrestling game, and given her MMA background it was natural for her to be given this monster heel push, but she just doesn’t do it for me.
I’m by no means suggesting their last encounter wasn’t a good match, because in many ways it was fun to watch, with its endless submissions and rope breaks, but as that’s the only thing that Baszler seems to be proficient at, it’s hard to think what they’ll be able to do this time around.
Moon, although her character is pretty undefined at the moment… she’s some sort of werewolf thing isn’t she… is most certainly the babyface in this matchup, and unlike her opponent, can really sell, so in that sense, it helps the blundering Baszler.
Although rumors of a Moon call-up to the main roster have died down in recent months, I think having Baszler lose again would make her look like a bit of a useless monster, which is why I’m going for a Baszler win via some sort of submission.
Prediction: Shayna Baszler
