Blake Monroe prepares for WWE SmackDown in-ring debut

WWE superstar Blake Monroe is preparing for her official in-ring debut on SmackDown following a successful run in NXT. Formerly known as Mariah May, the 28-year-old former NXT Women’s North American champion has been building anticipation through vignettes and teasers since April.

Monroe has recently engaged with fans on social media, teasing that her main roster entrance will be ‘something better’ than the mirror entrance she utilized in NXT. While she has not yet wrestled an official match on the SmackDown brand, she is currently involved in a feud with Giulia and previously defeated Jordynne Grace in a dark match in May 2026.
