The WWE NXT creative plans for Blake Monroe have taken an unexpected turn following a series of chaotic events within the women’s division. After an unplanned title change and unexpected incidents, WWE reassessed potential roster moves while putting the focus back on NXT’s upcoming events.
Surprise Title Change Alters Storyline Trajectory
On December 16, Blake Monroe lost the NXT Women’s North American Championship to Thea Hail under controversial circumstances. The end of the match was reportedly a legitimate accident, with Monroe losing the championship after a mistimed kickout during the pinfall. WWE officials, having planned for Monroe to retain, were forced to make immediate adjustments to the ongoing storyline.
Rematch Chaos Heightens Tension Within NXT
A highly anticipated rematch for the championship was slated for NXT New Year’s Evil on January 6 in Orlando, Florida. However, before the match could officially begin, Monroe ambushed Thea Hail during her entrance using a steel chair, then put the champion through the barricade. Ava intervened quickly, removing Monroe from the building for the rest of the night. Later that evening, Hail, though injured, issued an open challenge but lost her newly won title to Izzi Dame. This swift shuffle has left the NXT women’s division and its storylines in a state of flux.
WWE Internal Discussions on Main Roster Movement
Reports from sources such as Fightful Select reveal that WWE considered whether Blake Monroe or Jacy Jayne should be called up to the main roster. Despite initial talks, Bodyslam’s sources made clear that Monroe is not set for a promotion in the near future. Instead, WWE has begun plotting a new creative direction for Monroe leading into the NXT Stand & Deliver event scheduled for April 11.
No Immediate Main Roster Call-Ups Ahead of WrestleMania Weekend
Fightful’s regular Debunkathon segment reinforced the message that neither Monroe nor Jayne will be joining WWE’s main roster soon. Attention has now shifted to NXT Stand & Deliver, a high-profile event planned for WrestleMania 42 weekend, which may be held at Allegiant Stadium or another major Las Vegas venue. WWE’s focus on resolving creative storylines for talent like Monroe underscores current uncertainty and the tense atmosphere among fans and performers.
With the fate of the NXT women’s division uncertain, and major roster moves put on hold, WWE’s next steps will be closely watched as the buildup to Stand & Deliver continues.
