Mariah May WWE debut as Blake Monroe has captured attention, as the former AEW performer was officially introduced to WWE audiences on NXT, marking a major transition in her wrestling career. The debut was broadcast on the CW Network just days after her removal from AEW’s roster, with the new persona unveiled in a dramatic segment that emphasized her nickname “The Glamour.”
The Transformation from AEW to WWE
This high-profile move occurred rapidly, with Mariah May’s AEW exit and subsequent WWE signing taking place within a single week. Wrestling fans saw her debut on NXT, where not only was her shift to a new promotion highlighted, but so was the decision to distance her debut from her previous ring name. Throughout her introduction, WWE spotlighted her new identity and repeatedly referenced her charisma with terms like “GLAMOUR.”
Unveiling the New Persona on NXT
“Breaking news: The Glamour has arrived in NXT. It’s time to get out. Internationally adored by all because making people scream is nothing new for her. She’s beauty, she’s grace, and she will probably punch you in the face. The Glamour doesn’t just walk into the spotlight, she’s the reason it exists. The Glamour is the girl you’ve been waiting for. Introducing — there she is, The Glamour is Blake Monroe.”

The change brings a fresh dynamic to the NXT women’s division, as audiences adjust to her new presentation and persona.
