WWE Raw star Ember Moon recently spoke with The Post and Courier and below are some interview highlights.

On stepping outside of her introverted self for pro wrestling:

“When I took that leap into sports entertainment, I took that leap of stepping outside myself, doing things that I wasn’t comfortable with. I was afraid to let people see who I really was and what I had to offer. And then you’re going on a platform where the entire world wants to see who you are and what you have to offer.

“I like to challenge myself, and that was a challenge for me. I had to overcome all the stereotypes and rejections. It’s something I had to do to do what I wanted. And I did.”

On her character and her real life persona being very similar:

“I don’t think it’s that different. Other than the fact that I wear red contacts, there’s no difference. I am what you see … times a thousand. Maybe Ember is way more aggressive and intense, but at the end of the day it’s still me that I’m presenting.”

On what she learned training with Booker T:

“Booker taught me a lot of the high-flying aspect that you see now: the springboard cross-body, the Eclipse off the top rope. That was all Booker. I also learned to present myself in a way that was camera-ready. He likes to tell everyone that I had all the tools, but that’s not true. You can only get certain knowledge from people that have been through what you’re trying to do.”
