“The Glamour” Blake Monroe will make her main roster very soon, as announced on the April 24, 2026, episode of SmackDown. A vignette aired after the Danhausen match to announce that The Glamour was coming soon. Just after, Fatal Influence was making its debut on the main roster.
Monroe was believed to be heading to the main roster following her loss to Tatum Paxley at NXT Revenge Week Two, on this week’s WWE NXT, closing the casket’s lid on the former NXT Women’s North American Champion’s run in NXT. On the March 17, 2026, episode of NXT, in Houston, TX, Monroe attacked Paxley after the Steel Cage match and left with the Championship. Paxley defeated Monroe at NXT Stand and Deliver 2026, but The Glamour requested a rematch. NXT General Manager Robert Stone agreed only if Paxley could choose the stipulation.

Who is Blake Monroe?
Blake Monroe doesn’t just walk into the spotlight — she IS the spotlight. Known as The Glamour, Monroe is a global sensation, a fierce combination of beauty, grace, and pure power. Don’t be fooled by the elegance — she’ll gladly punch you in the face if you step to her. Monroe made her jaw-dropping debut to kick off the summer of 2025. Since then, she’s risen lightning fast to the top of the most electrifying women’s division in the business.
Mariah May began as a ring announcer in the UK. She mostly worked in her Native land until 2022. She debuted with World Wonder Ring Stardom, where she formed Club Venus, a trio featuring Mina Shirakawa, herself, and Xia Brookside. Monroe then signed with AEW in 2023, where she became Women’s World Champion and won the Women’s Owen Hart Cup. She departed AEW in May 2025 to make a surprise debut on WWE NXT in June 2025. She immediately confronted NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne.
After some feuds with Fatal Influence and Jordynne Grace, Monroe set her sights on the NXT Women’s North American Championship held by Sol Ruca. At NXT Halloween Havoc in October 2025, Monroe defeated Zaria, who wrestled on behalf of an injured Ruca, to win the title, her first championship in WWE.
