5 feuds that will define WWE in 2018

#3 Ember Moon vs. Kairi Sane

Minus two.

With Asuka's departure for RAW, the NXT Women's Division became a wide-open prairie once again. The championship was anyone's for the taking, as seen in the match at TakeOver: War Games. There, Ember Moon took the throne that Asuka abdicated. It was the logical choice. After all, she came closer than anyone else to toppling the Empress of Tomorrow.

Yet, at the same time that Ember Moon was consolidating power in the vacuum that her rival left behind, another force was emerging in the division. Kairi Sane won the Mae Young Classic tournament late last summer, thrilling audiences with each match and earning a shot at TakeOver: War Games. There, the War Goddess and the Pirate Princess had limited encounters but were kept away from one another for the most part. Most tellingly, Kairi Sane didn't take Ember Moon's Eclipse and was out of the ring when the pinfall happened.

It was a tease for things to come. The two will inevitably collide in 2018, likely in New Orleans, but the rivalry could possibly go on all the way to Brooklyn. The two of them are the most prominent competitors in the NXT Women's Division as 2018 begins and there's only room for one of them at the top. Who will reign supreme? We'll find out this year.
