At NXT TakeOver: 31 both Ember Moon and Toni Storm revealed that they were back in NXT. Toni Storm has been missing due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, meanwhile, Ember has been working back from an injury after her spell on WWE's main roster. Both are obviously welcome additions to what is already a stacked women's division.

They are two of the most talented performers that WWE has right now and to have them both back is massive for NXT. Both women have held gold in WWE and there's no doubt that they will be chasing down Io Shirai to capture the NXT Women's Championship as soon as possible, but only one of them can hold it first.

10 Ember Moon: She's Had The Big Storyline

While seeing Toni Storm appear at NXT TakeOver: 31 was a lot of fun, it was really all about Ember Moon. She's the person WWE invested time and effort in with the mystery teases in the build-up to the show.

Because WWE has already put that level of effort into Ember, it makes more sense to make her the next NXT Women's Champion. The WWE Universe is clearly excited about Ember being back, and rightfully so, which is why she is the more likely candidate to get the title run.

9 Toni Storm: Start An Interesting Storyline

On the other hand to the previous point, having Toni Storm win the title first would really create an interesting dynamic. Having Toni continue to jump the gun on Ember Moon's moments, such as her big return at TakeOver and then winning the title could lead to something great.

Ember could easily turn heel during this storyline and then have a big feud with Storm herself, which would lead to some really interesting matches. It's the less obvious road to take and that often leads to more excitement.

8 Ember Moon: Build The Division

There is no denying that Toni Storm is an excellent professional wrestler who can have great matches with anybody. However, she doesn't quite have the experience factor that Ember Moon does.

Because of that, putting the title on Moon makes more sense as she can continue to build the division while Toni gets even more experience. Ember can help benefit all of the current roster in the process, raising everyone up.

7 Toni Storm: Her Past With Io Shirai

Even though Toni Storm hasn't been on the NXT roster much in America, she does have a distinct history with current NXT Women's Champion, Io Shirai. The two women faced each other in the Mae Young Classic finals in 2018, and it was Storm who got the win. She was the woman who got the edge that night at Evolution. Toni Storm stood tall over Io Shirai and this is an easy and obvious gateway into starting a storyline between them.

6 Ember Moon: Tons Of Dream Matches

While it's not to say that there aren't dream matches for Toni Storm, with Ember Moon there is a genuine excitement amongst fans to see her back in NXT. She's one of the greatest wrestlers in the world and, with NXT's current division, the options are endless.

Ember Moon's style will work great with the likes of Io Shirai, Shotzi Blackheart, and Dakota Kai. Putting the title on her just opens up so many possibilities that it seems a shame not to do it straight away to make every match mean as much as possible.

5 Toni Storm: Potential Storyline With Rhea Ripley

So far in WWE, Toni Storm's greatest rival has been Rhea Ripley, and WWE has the chance to revisit that storyline now. The two women feuded for the NXT UK Women's Championship and had some amazing matches, and returning to that on a bigger platform would be great.

Toni Storm winning the title would allow for that to happen, as Ripley could be her first challenger. This would easily keep the momentum going for both of them and the division as a whole, pushing new, fresh talent to the top.

4 Ember Moon: Committed To NXT

Ember Moon has already been and experienced the main roster and while things weren't perfect, she certainly had a solid run. However, the fact she's now back in NXT showcases exactly where her long-term future is.

Ember isn't going to be running back to the main roster again so soon, which is why she's the right woman to build the division around. Ember can have great feuds with others, including Toni Storm to build them up and send them off to their next step, Raw or SmackDown. Having someone committed to NXT is crucial right now to build the brand in general.

3 Toni Storm: Push NXT UK

NXT UK has only just returned following the pandemic, and any chance WWE gets to promote that should be taken. Pushing Toni Storm immediately and having her be the next NXT Women's Champion could do just that.

It would showcase that talent in NXT UK is serious and has big futures in the company. It instantly gives people a reason to watch, all while building Storm in the process, making it the perfect situation.

2 Ember Moon: She Needs It More

Ultimately, when it comes to the two women in question, Ember Moon is the one who needs a title reign the most. She didn't make the impact she wanted on the main roster and, after a lengthy injury, WWE really needs to build her back up.

Toni is young and has a huge future ahead of her, that moment in the sun will likely come down the line for Storm someday. For now, WWE would be best putting Toni into a different storyline, while giving Ember the chance to build herself back up after a difficult period.

While Toni Storm is already well-known by this point in WWE, there's no doubt that she has yet to truly reach her potential. There's tons of room for growth with Toni, and putting the NXT Women's Title on her could make that happen.

Ember Moon has already been a main roster talent and has established herself because of that. However, Toni Storm is still building that connection to the fans, and a big victory and title run right out of the gate could really do wonders for her career.
