Blake Monroe has arrived on SmackDown.
WWE has called up a number of NXT stars over the last few months. Just in the few weeks since WrestleMania 42, we have seen names such as Ricky Saints, Jacy Jayne, Ethan Page, and Sol Ruca officially making the move to the main roster.
The company had also been teasing the arrival of the former AEW Women’s Champion with video packages over the last few weeks, but Blake’s on-screen debut turned out to be just as bizarre as her last few months in NXT.
Blake Monroe Gets 20-Second Debut
The May 22 episode of the Blue Branded show featured Tiffany Stratton defending the Women’s US Title against Lash Legend. Stratton managed to retain the belt after some interference from Chelsea Green.
