Blake Monroe Explains Why She Joined WWE

Blake Monroe has revealed why she signed with WWE, with Monroe’s NXT run dividing fan opinion.

A former NXT Women’s North American Champion, some feel Monroe is not being used correctly in NXT, especially after her strong run in All Elite Wrestling. Talking with The Wrestling Classic, Monroe revealed she jumped to WWE for ‘the challenge’:

“Well, as you can see, it’s challenging me in a lot of ways, but I came to WWE for the challenge. I came because I felt like everything I’ve done in my career, I’ve given my everything to, and I feel like, in a sense, I completed it, and I left with my heart full. With WWE, the women’s division is so deep. We have three brands, we have so many championships,” Monroe said.

“We have so many women from different backgrounds, so right now I’m in NXT. There are anything from influencers to gold medalist Olympians coming up, so you have such a broad spectrum, and everybody has something different, and the one thing I will say about Jaida (Parker) is she has an attitude I have never seen before,” Monroe further continued.

“She has a charisma and an energy that I feel in that ring, since coming to NXT, that’s the most I’ve felt it. That crowd gets behind her and everything she says, she truly believes, and I respect that. So, it’s very exciting. It’s definitely a challenge, but it’s making me elevate different levels of my game. I come from independent wrestling, I come from Japan, I’ve traveled the world. I wasn’t a D1 athlete, I didn’t train like that, so there’s something I could learn from them. There’s a lot they can learn from me, and I think mixing that up is why NXT is such a chaotic and exciting show every Tuesday."
