WWE Legend Bubba Ray Dudley Predicts Bright Future for Blake Monroe in NXT

Blake Monroe, the electrifying former All Elite Wrestling star, stormed into WWE’s NXT brand this month, marking a seismic shift in the pro wrestling world. Formerly known as Mariah May, Monroe carved her name in Stardom and reigned as a women’s champion before wrapping up her AEW tenure with a fiery feud against Toni Storm. Now, she’s got her eyes locked on NXT women’s champion Jacy Jayne and the Fatal Influence faction, hungry to add another title to her glittering resume.

Wrestling icon Bubba Ray Dudley, in an exclusive chat with WTFNewsRoom, didn’t hold back his praise for Monroe’s bold move to WWE. “She maxed out her potential elsewhere,” Dudley said, noting her standout performances. “Blake’s not just a wrestler—she’s a sports entertainer, and WWE is where she’ll shine.” He predicted she’d climb to stardom under the guidance of NXT’s creative mastermind Shawn Michaels and his team.

Monroe’s NXT debut wasn’t all smiles. At a dramatic contract signing this week, she declared WWE as her lifelong dream, echoing sentiments she’s shared across social media. But Jacy Jayne welcomed her with a brutal statement, slamming Monroe through a table. The message? This is NXT, and the road to glory is paved with pain.

While her first official match date remains under wraps, Monroe’s arrival has already sent shockwaves. With Dudley’s bold prediction and her undeniable charisma, the wrestling world is buzzing about whether Blake Monroe will become WWE’s next big star.
