Blake Monroe Comments on Being Happy to “Learn & Grow” in WWE NXT and “NXT Has The Highest Viewership Of Any Show That I’ve Been On”

A recent episode of The Ringer’s The Masked Man podcast featured Blake Monroe as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Monroe’s thoughts about Mone’s thoughts about her going to WWE’s NXT brand instead of the main roster and if she wanted that to happen.

“Yeah, I mean to date, NXT has the highest viewership of any show I’ve been on. I think as well, you have to consider that WWE is so huge, the amount of tv equity that Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair, they have millions of followers and all of this TV equity. I know I can go toe-to-toe with them, but I feel like, why wouldn’t I go to NXT to continue to build my brand, continue to introduce the WWE universe. They may know me, they probably don’t, I don’t think any of these kids know me or anything. Tell them who I am and also make NXT my brand because I truly feel like I am doing that and can do that. Why wouldn’t I take that opportunity and get that TV equity, build up myself in WWE, use the resources and be able to talk to Shawn, Matt Bloom, and all of these amazing coaches.
When I do go to the main roster and I’m going against these juggernauts, I really have the best possible chance to succeed because they are huge stars, so I’ve gotta build myself a little.”
