Ember Moon has been all around WWE since 2015. She has recently landed back in WWE NXT, where she is looking to make some inroads during her second stint with the brand. Moon signed with WWE in September 2015, and it was only matter of time before she became the NXT Women’s Champion.

While Moon seems like a natural in the ring, she opened up about her three early tryouts during a guest appearance on Lilian Garcia's Chasing Glory podcast. Moon revealed that she was rejected by WWE three times. Though they saw potential in her, they did not like the way she looked:

"They said 'We are not going to hire you; You don't have a Diva look; yeah you are cute, but look at them and look at you'."

This criticism was extremely frustrating for someone as talented as Moon. She did not give up, though. During an interview, Moon spoke about how former WWE Divas Champion Paige played a major role in influencing her to try out for the company again. This determination paid off, as WWE eventually signed her.

Thank you everyone for the amazing feedback on my debut @wwenxt !! Its been truly amazing! I won't disappoint #NxtStrong #MakeArtOutOfWar
