Blake Monroe could be set to make her WWE main roster debut very soon.
According to Fightful Select, Blake Monroe is listed on the travel schedule to Lexington, Kentucky for the May 22 episode of Friday Night SmackDown. PWInsider has also noted that Monroe is expected to be on the road with SmackDown as soon as this week. This doesn't necessarily mean Monroe will debut on the main roster this coming Friday, but it appears she will at least be at Lexington's Rupp Arena for SmackDown.
Vignettes teasing Blake Monroe is coming soon have aired since the post-WrestleMania 42 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, including another vignette on May 15 which ended with Monroe getting into a car.
When Monroe does appear in person on SmackDown for the first time, reportedly the expectation is she will be involved in the mid-card title picture, suggesting she will pursue the Women's United States Championship currently held by Tiffany Stratton.
Blake Monroe has been a part of WWE since June 2025 and she competed on NXT until finishing up with the brand at night two of NXT Revenge where she lost a Casket Match to Tatum Paxley. Monroe is a former NXT Women's North American Champion, having held the belt for 52 days in late 2025.
