Add as a preferred source on Google Blake Monroe is expected to begin appearing on Friday Night SmackDown by the end of May, though WWE could still change those plans. According to PWInsider, The Glamour is currently expected to arrive over the next few weeks.
Monroe’s main roster move had already been teased on the April 24 episode of SmackDown, where WWE aired a promotional video announcing her jump to the blue brand without confirming a specific date.
Her most recent NXT run ended with a loss to Tatum Paxley in a Casket Match for the NXT Women’s North American Championship at NXT Revenge. Paxley hit a Cemetery Driver onto diamonds before placing Monroe in the casket and retaining the title.
The expectation is that Blake Monroe would start appearing on SmackDown by the end of the month, but that's subject to change.

WWE presents Monroe as The Glamour and lists her NXT Women’s North American Championship win among the highlights of her official profile.
Her arrival will strengthen a SmackDown women’s division that has already added several notable names from NXT after WrestleMania 42, including Fatal Influence members Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, and Lainey Reid. The trio has already been thrown directly into the path of Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, Paige, and Brie Bella.
