Probably from when it got popped out of Earth by a massive strike, which is I believe the theory.

Although, I think our theories say that most planets have an ocean of molten rock at some point in their creation, right? Isn't that part of the planet creation process?
Though of course, finding actual evidence to support those theories is always good.

Imagine the view from Earth!

So the moon had a ocean at one point
- That's what it says!
  Not so much conducive to life, but it's still an ocean!
  
  It was a joke
