“You gotta wait for a woman like me,” she wrote.

Fans are quite excited to see the former AEW star appear on the main roster after a strong run on NXT. She has already impressed the WWE Universe with her run in AEW and NXT, and it will be interesting to see how she is received after the strong reaction that Fatal Influence have received following their call-up.

WWE Hall of Famer calls Blake Monroe “one of the boys”

In a recent appearance on the Busted Open podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry spoke about Blake Monroe amid her impending main roster debut on SmackDown.

“What’s even better about Blake Monroe, and I know this sounds so crazy, but she’s one of the boys. Everybody’s gonna love her. She is an old school, throwback wrestler. She’s funny and crass. She said something in AEW in the training room one time, I turned I was like, ‘What did you say?’ She’s just got it. When you like people, you work harder for them and she works hard. You watch her matches and she’ll do anything and everything to succeed. And her wrestling skillset is that she can adapt to everybody’s s**t. She doesn’t have a weakness, and there’s very few wrestlers that can flip and fly, that can grapple, chain wrestle, that can swing them and punch and kick, that can do everything. She can do everything,” said Henry.

Monroe made her WWE debut in June 2025 as a babyface, and eventually turned heel. She lost to Tatum Paxley in a casket match, in what was her final time competing in NXT. It now remains to be seen how she is booked after debiting on SmackDown.
