Blake Monroe has expressed that she is not in a hurry to move from WWE NXT to the main roster, emphasizing her desire to accomplish more within the brand. As she nears her one-year mark with WWE, Monroe addressed speculation about a possible call-up to Raw or SmackDown by stating she remains focused on her current platform and the goals she still intends to achieve.
WWE NXT Offers Unique Status and Dedicated Fanbase
During a recent interview on the Sam Roberts podcast, Monroe highlighted the distinct position NXT holds, blending elements of developmental training with the presence of established stars and a committed audience. She pointed out that while NXT is linked to the Performance Center, it commands an impressive fanbase and viewership, making it a significant promotion in its own right.
Monroe also recounted an encounter where two young fans approached her in a gym, telling her that NXT was their favorite wrestling show. This interaction reinforced her belief in the brand’s independent strength.
“They ran up to me and said, ‘I love NXT. It’s my favorite show. Can we get a picture?'” Blake Monroe – WWE Wrestler
“That is people’s favorite show. I don’t know why there is some kind of need to be called up. I’m not in any rush.” Blake Monroe – WWE Wrestler
Unfinished Business in NXT Women’s Division Drives Monroe’s Commitment
Monroe revealed that her motivation to stay in NXT is fueled by several unresolved rivalries and opportunities within the women’s division. She explained she has yet to fully compete against many of her peers and still wants to engage in more feuds and matches.
“I’ve hardly feuded with any of the women,” Blake Monroe – WWE Wrestler
She cited ongoing storylines involving Jordynne Grace and Jada Parker but insisted there are many other competitors she looks forward to facing.
Additionally, Monroe stressed that she has not yet challenged for the NXT Women’s Championship, which remains an important milestone she aims to reach in her career.
“I haven’t even approached the main women’s title. So there’s so much to do.” Blake Monroe – WWE Wrestler
Early Achievements Highlight Monroe’s Impact in NXT
Although Monroe has not contested for the top women’s title, she quickly made an impression by capturing the NXT Women’s North American Championship early in her WWE tenure. However, she lost the title under controversial circumstances, further adding to her compelling narrative within the brand.
With this in mind, Monroe’s focus remains on solidifying her legacy within WWE NXT before considering a transition to Raw or SmackDown.
Significance of Monroe’s Decision and Future Outlook
Monroe’s choice to stay patient and fully develop her presence in NXT highlights the value she places on building meaningful storylines and achieving key milestones before pursuing the main roster spotlight. This approach reflects a longer-term vision that prioritizes growth, skill development, and establishing a lasting impact within the highly competitive women’s division.
As Monroe continues to deepen her role within NXT, fans can expect to see more high-profile feuds and championship pursuits, setting a foundation that could enhance her eventual transition to WWE’s broader platforms.
