Blake Monroe Says Her WWE Character Is An Evolution Of Mariah May

Blake Monroe comments on her WWE character being an evolution of her work as Mariah May.

Earlier this year, Monroe moved from AEW to WWE in one of the most significant jumps of a star between the companies. Monroe would drop her real name, Mariah May, from her character, but for the most part, a lot of her work is similar but in Blake’s opinion, is an evolving part of her career.

While speaking to TVInsider in a new interview, Blake spoke about her continuously evolving character.

“We talk about Mariah May, but Blake Monroe is continuing to evolve from the things I’ve already done. It’s not different. It’s not wiping something clean and starting again. It’s taking these parts of me and growing them and nurturing them.  As you saw my introduction was ‘The Glamour’ and was very big on that whole pop star vibe with my entrance and the vanity and all these incredible things. We’ve been able to evolve the character. Then you saw me at No Mercy in the steel cage match. You saw a different side of me. Someone who was a bit merciless and a bit unhinged. I think it has been so exciting to evolve something. I’m really proud of my journey, and this is the next chapter. I’m loving just getting so detailed with it. The creative team is so passionate about every part of what you do. I’m having a ball because I love those details and that presentation. I wouldn’t say there is too much difference. I would say it’s more of an evolution.”

Last week, Monroe would appear on WWE Friday Night SmackDown ahead of her upcoming title bout with Sol Ruca at NXT Halloween Havoc. You can read more about that here.
