Backstage Update On Blake Monroe’s WWE SmackDown Debut
Blake Monroe may be appearing on WWE SmackDown as soon as this week, with the former AEW Women's World Champion currently listed on the brand's travel schedule, according to Fightful Select.
WWE has officially announced Monroe's main roster move to SmackDown, though she has yet to appear on the blue brand since the announcement.
WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray spoke about Monroe on a recent edition of the Busted Open Radio podcast, offering his take about what she brings to the roster.
"What's even better about Blake Monroe, and I know this sounds so crazy, but she's one of the boys. Everybody's gonna love her. She is an old school, throwback wrestler. She's funny and crass. She said something in AEW in the training room one time, I turned I was like, 'What did you say?' She's just got it."
Bully Ray pointed to her in-ring versatility as a particular strength.
"When you like people, you work harder for them and she works hard. You watch her matches and she'll do anything and everything to succeed. And her wrestling skillset is that she can adapt to everybody's s**t. She doesn't have a weakness, and there's very few wrestlers that can flip and fly, that can grapple, chain wrestle, that can swing them and punch and kick, that can do everything. She can do everything."
Monroe is a former AEW Women's World Champion who was among the notable signings WWE made from the rival promotion.
