Timeline On When Former NXT Champion Blake Monroe Will Make Her WWE Smackdown Debut

With vignettes continuing to air touting her jump to WWE Smackdown, there now appears to be a timeline on when we will see her on the blue brand.

Though plans could always change, PWInsider.com reports that Monroe is expected to start appearing on Smackdown by the end of the month.

Since losing a casket match on NXT Revenge against Tatum Paxley on April 21, Monroe hasn't wrestled and instead was one of a handful of wrestlers who were promoted to one of the two main brands. WWE has aired two vignettes for her - on April 24 and again on May 1 - teasing her debut and continuing with the same "The Glamour" gimmick that she used in NXT.

Monroe joined WWE almost a year ago and went onto hold the WWE NXT Women's North American title. Prior to that, she was with AEW from November 2023 to May 2025 where she held the AEW Women's World Title under her real name, Mariah May.
