WWE's Ember Moon Details The Origin Of The Eclipse
She wanted to make sure people stayed in their seats during her matches
Following her WWE TV debut at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn II, Ember Moon instantly stood out on the roster with her finisher The Eclipse.
Moon recently sat down for an interview with Sportskeeda, during which she detailed the origins of the finishing move.
Moon said: "My friend, James, he actually created the move and he retired and I was like look, I said I need something that's gonna set me above the rest that is gonna keep people in seats, because at that point in time, the women's revolution had not really started. It was very much so like on the independent scene when the girls came out, alright, let's go to the restroom, get the popcorn and the t-shirts at the merch stand. Like no one watched our matches. And so it was like you know I wanna make these people stay in their seats, I want to make them watch what we do because it's not fair to us. And so my friend was like I'm going to retire this year, I was like teach me the way (laughs)."
Since her debut, The War Goddess has hit many Twisting Stunners off the top rope and she is a former NXT Women's Champion.
