Since debuting in WWE in June 2025, Blake Monroe has made a notable impact, capturing the NXT Women’s North American Championship for 52 days. However, Monroe recently shared that she is not currently aiming to challenge for the NXT Women’s Championship held by Jacy Jayne. Speaking on Busted Open, Monroe explained her decision to stay out of the title picture for now, despite her potential.
Monroe’s Thoughts on Jacy Jayne and Future Title Challenges
When Mark Henry mentioned Monroe’s absence from recent NXT Women’s Championship pursuits, Monroe responded candidly about her approach. She said,
“I’m letting Jacy Jayne try. I’m letting her have her fun, have her moment, giving her some time, and when I am ready to take the title, I will.”
Monroe reminded fans that she has already pinned Jacy Jayne during her debut in a pay-per-view main event, emphasizing her confidence for future challenges.
When I’m ready, I’ll come for her, but right now I’m not doing that.
