#4 Ember Moon (NXT TakeOver: In Your House 2021)

The NXT Women's Championship Match at NXT TakeOver: In Your House 2021 could be criticized for being predictable. Raquel González has been a dominant force on the brand. Having just won gold at Stand and Deliver in April, it wasn't likely that she would drop the title on this show. However, this bout was not without good action throughout.

Although Raquel played her role well and got the victory, Ember Moon proved herself as a workhorse once again. The former NXT Women's Champion was in her first singles TakeOver contest since her return and did not disappoint. She brought a ton of energy to this NXT TakeOver: In Your House encounter and sold wonderfully for the champion.

Her offense was crisp and impactful, including a huge Tornado DDT from the top rope onto the entrance ramp. Her Eclipse finish almost gained her the victory, but Dakota Kai got involved, placing the champ's foot on the rope. This led to the return of Ember's partner, Shotzi Blackheart. She neutralized Kai and fought with her to the back.

This allowed the final minutes to be one-on-one and led to a really good finish where González had a very cool variation of her choke bomb for the win. Raquel looked great, but that was down to an expert performance from Ember Moon. She has truly shown herself to be one of the very best wrestlers in the stacked NXT women's division and proved that again at NXT TakeOver: In Your House.
