26. Ember Moon

It isn't much you can say to Ember Moon born, Adrienne Reese, who was bullied during her youth for liking wrestling and video games. Reese is living out her childhood dream in front of millions of people week in and week out and those same classmates have to watch her from the couch of their crumby one-bedroom apartments. It also has to suck knowing that she's damn good at what she does too. Ember Moon is known as a risk-taker as well, performing aerial assaults such as the Springboard Dropkick, the Handspring Splash, the Tornado Suplex, and her finisher The Eclipse on a regular basis.

Prior to making her way to the WWE as a mainstay roster member, Reese wrestled under the moniker Athena in the independent circuit. She wrestled for several different leagues including Professional Championship Wrestling (PCW), Anarchy Championship Wrestling (ACW) where she is a 3x ACW American Joshi Champion as well as the Shimmer Women Athletes, Women Superstars Uncensored (WSU), All American Wrestling (AAW), and more. In 2015, Ember Moon made her way to the WWE where she became the NXT Women's Champion and is currently on the Smackdown roster.
