# WWE wrestler Blake Monroe main roster transition > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/wwe-wrestler-blake-monroe-main-roster-transition > Updated: 2026-09-09T06:00:00.000Z. Sources: 22. Developments: 6. WWE wrestler Blake Monroe is preparing for her main roster debut following her tenure as NXT Women's North American Champion. While she has appeared on SmackDown to conduct backstage attacks on performers such as Candice LeRae, Chelsea Green, and Giulia, she has not yet made an official in-ring debut on the brand. Addressing fan criticism regarding her delayed debut, Monroe has responded to social media comments about her lack of wrestling by jokingly questioning, ‘why wrestle when i could get paid to eat donuts with a fork?’ She has previously emphasized that high-quality presentation requires patience, noting that rushing her debut could lead to her being forgotten. Behind the scenes, Triple H is reportedly personally involved in updating her entrance, which Monroe says will differ from her presentation in NXT, teasing it will be ‘something better’ than her previous mirror entrance. Following a scheduled SmackDown match that failed to occur after Monroe attacked Giulia during her entrance, WWE officials have been discussing a potential match between the two for the inaugural ‘Sunday Night's Main Event’ in Atlanta, Georgia, on September 6. Reports indicate that a singles match between Monroe and Giulia is currently under discussion for that event, which would serve as Monroe’s official main roster in-ring debut. Monroe, formerly known as Mariah May, has also discussed her personal life and expressed interest in meeting Rhea Ripley. She previously defeated Jordynne Grace in a dark match in May 2026. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-09: Blake Monroe prepares for WWE SmackDown in-ring debut WWE wrestler Blake Monroe is teasing a major in-ring debut on SmackDown, promising an entrance that surpasses her previous mirror-themed debut in NXT. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/blake-monroe-prepares-for-wwe-smackdown-in-ring-debut ### 2026-08-25: WWE prepares match cards for NXT Heatwave and Sunday Night’s Main Event WWE is preparing for NXT Heatwave 2026 and Sunday Night’s Main Event, with rumored women's matches and a major championship unification bout on the cards. 12 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/wwe-discusses-blake-monroe-vs-giulia-match-for-sunday-nights-main-event ### 2026-08-15: Giulia set to face Blake Monroe in WWE main roster debut Giulia has been named as the first main roster opponent for Blake Monroe following an announcement by SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/giulia-set-to-face-blake-monroe-in-wwe-main-roster-debut ### 2026-08-11: Blake Monroe addresses WWE debut delays and entrance changes WWE's Blake Monroe is addressing fan criticism over her delayed SmackDown debut while revealing that Triple H is personally working on a revamped entrance for her upcoming in-ring arrival. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/blake-monroe-addresses-wwe-debut-delays-and-entrance-changes ### 2026-08-08: Blake Monroe to change entrance for WWE main roster debut WWE star Blake Monroe revealed her ring entrance will change during her transition to the SmackDown main roster, noting her excitement to work with Triple H on her new presentation. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/blake-monroe-to-change-entrance-for-wwe-main-roster-debut ### 2026-08-06: Wrestling Updates: Blake Monroe Talks Dating Wrestlers, Dijak Appears in JCW Storyline WWE talent Blake Monroe says dating wrestlers is tough and claims she’s broken several hearts, while ex‑WWE star Dijak debuted on JCW Lunacy as the stepfather enforcer for Jasmin St. Claire’s pregnancy story. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/wrestling-updates-blake-monroe-talks-dating-wrestlers-dijak-appears-in-jcw-storyline --- Cite as: WWE wrestler Blake Monroe main roster transition.
