WWE has officially moved Blake Monroe to the main roster, as a debut promo aired during the April 24 episode of WWE SmackDown.
The vignette introduced Monroe with a strong presentation, positioning her as a major addition to the women’s division.
“The Glamour is the girl you’ve been waiting for,” the narrator said. “She’s beauty. She’s grace…and she will probably punch you in the face. The Glamour doesn’t just walk into the spotlight, she’s the reason it exists.”
Monroe’s own voice was then featured in the promo.
“Nothing burns brighter and darker than Blake Monroe.”
The segment confirmed that Monroe’s time in NXT has come to an end, following months of speculation about a potential call-up.
Before joining WWE, Monroe competed under the name Mariah May and built her reputation internationally. She gained recognition in STARDOM before moving to All Elite Wrestling, where she achieved major success. In 2024, she won the Owen Hart Cup and later defeated Toni Storm at All In in London to capture the AEW Women’s World Championship. She eventually lost the title back to Storm in March during a match promoted as the “Hollywood Ending,” which marked her final appearance with the company.
Monroe debuted in NXT in June and quickly became a featured name. She entered a program with Jordynne Grace before capturing the Women’s North American Championship by defeating Zaria, who had previously taken the title from Sol Ruca.
Her title reign ended in December when she dropped the championship to Thea Hail in a match that featured a controversial finish on live television.
Monroe closed out her NXT run with a feud against Tatum Paxley. She challenged Paxley for the Women’s North American Championship at Stand & Deliver but came up short. Her final match on the brand was a loss to Paxley in a casket match earlier this week.
With her SmackDown promo now aired, Monroe is officially set to begin the next phase of her WWE career on the main roster.
