Blake Monroe: I’ve Learned You Can Give To Social Media, But You Don’t Necessarily Have To Consume It

Blake Monroe talks about what she has learned about social media.

Since leaving AEW for WWE earlier this year, Blake Monroe has been the subject of much discussion from fans of both companies on social media, with much of it leading to trolling of Monroe. For the current NXT superstar, she says that she has learned not to consume social media.

While speaking to TVInsider in a new interview, Blake Monroe would be asked what she has learned about general fame levels of being a WWE superstar.

“One, being a women’s wrestler you have that level of attention. There are the good parts and the scary or bad parts. I kind of felt I was prepared because I’d been on TV before, but no. When I debuted on NXT, that whole few days the amount of followers, I’d never known anything like it. I got all these messages and everything. It was amazing and so awesome to see. It made me so excited. Definitely in public more I think that I can’t be out looking a little sloppy because you can get recognized anywhere. I’d normally go to Publix and think I have to look a little bit cute because I’m “The Glamour.” It is definitely bigger than anything I’ve experienced. It’s amazing, but a lot to process.”

Blake would then discuss how she handles social media, noting that she tries to stay off platforms other than the occasional post for her fans.

“When it comes to online, I think there are definitely negatives that come with it and trolling I’ve never seen before. I’ve learned, and it took a while to implement this because we are all addicted to our phones. I’ve learned you can give to social media, but you don’t necessarily have to consume it. I try to post my things and interact a little bit with my fans because I really do appreciate them. That’s something I’ve always valued, the fact I have a very loyal fan base that have followed me. I try to interact with them a little bit, but I don’t go online anymore much because I think it’s a little much. I try to avoid it.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Blake spoke about how she feels IYO SKY is the best wrestler in the world, regardless of gender. You can read more about that here.
