During this week’s WWE NXT episode held at the 713 Music Hall in Houston, Texas, commentator and WWE Hall of Famer Booker T made an unexpected mistake while introducing star Blake Monroe. The error occurred early in the show, when Booker T referred to the former AEW wrestler as “The Glamma Girl, Monica Monroe” instead of her correct ring name, The Glamour.
The event also featured appearances by The Undertaker, and matches including Ricky Saints versus Jasper Troy. However, the mix-up with Monroe’s introduction became the highlight of fan discussions online, drawing widespread attention.
Possible Causes Behind the Name Confusion
The slip-up could be linked to Booker T’s association with the Reality of Wrestling promotion, also based in Houston. That promotion has another performer named Monica Monroe, who goes by the nickname Lady Bird. Lady Bird is well-known there as a Women’s Tag Team Champion alongside Gigi Rey. This overlap may have led to the unintended confusion between the two Monroes.
Blake Monroe’s First Singles Match and Security Tensions
Later in the episode, Blake Monroe competed in her inaugural WWE singles match, facing Wren Sinclair. To avoid interference, NXT General Manager Ava barred Jordynne Grace from entering the venue, due to a recent betrayal involving Grace and Monroe at Evolution. Despite security efforts, Grace managed to get inside, but Monroe prevailed by executing a DDT onto a chair, securing the victory.
Monica Monroe from Reality of Wrestling Responds on Social Media
Following the confusion, Lady Bird, the Monica Monroe from Reality of Wrestling, addressed Booker T’s mix-up with humor on X (formerly Twitter). She playfully acknowledged that Booker T must have been thinking about her a lot to mention her name during the NXT broadcast. She also greeted her WWE counterpart as her “Monroe sister.”

Blake Monroe responded to Lady Bird’s friendly message by calling her “cute,” adding a lighthearted touch to the exchange between the two wrestlers from different promotions.
Significance of the Incident and Possible Outcomes
The name error by Booker T brought attention not only to Blake Monroe’s NXT debut but also to the shared names across wrestling promotions based in the same city. While inadvertent, such slips can spark viral discussions, showcasing the crossover interest among fans. How the two Monroes’ careers evolve and whether this mix-up affects their recognition remains to be seen, but the mutual friendly interaction hints at respect across wrestling circles.
