Ember Moon talks Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling, working with The Usos before they were with WWE:
“I got the call last minute saying, ‘Hey, we want to use you on the show.’ I drove down, did the show. It was my first time working their show.”
“I believe we were called Yin, Yang and Trouble. It was our very first time being together, and it was a super fun experience. [more chuckles] It was so much fun, and that’s all I can say about that.”
“Booker ran his school something similar to what you would see at the [WWE] Performance Center. He has multiple rings. He has a gym. He has a track.”
“Booker T helped me hone-in on the high-flying aspect of who I am. I also feel like Booker T also helped me become organized and encouraged me to branch out and try to become a bigger name on the indies, which is extremely hard in a sense and even harder for women.”
“Ember is the last thing that comes with a flame. It’s the part that is so hard to die down, that can combust at any moment. The moon is so cool. It changes faces all the time. So basically my name means something that is undying and ever changing.”
