Former WWE NXT Women’s North American Champion Blake Monroe was announced as "coming soon" to SmackDown during the April 24th episode, and several vignettes promoting her arrival have aired since then.
According to reports from both PWInsider.com and Fightful Select, Monroe is scheduled to travel with the Friday Night SmackDown crew next week as they head to Lexington, Kentucky, for a show at the Rupp Arena. However, neither report specifically states that Monroe will be debuting on next week’s episode; they only confirm her presence at the venue.
Monroe is the latest NXT star to be called up to the main roster, joining fellow post-WrestleMania call-ups including Fatal Influence, Ricky Saints, Sol Ruca, Ethan Page, and Joe Hendry.
