Add as a preferred source on Google Blake Monroe may finally make her first official appearance as a member of Friday Night SmackDown as soon as next week.
According to PWInsider, Monroe is expected to begin traveling with the blue brand’s roster soon and could appear as early as the May 22 episode, which will take place at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky. WWE is already advertising names such as Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley, Jade Cargill, Tiffany Stratton, Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre for the show.
Monroe’s call-up had already been teased on the April 24 episode of SmackDown, when WWE aired a promotional video highlighting The Glamour with the message “coming soon.” Since then, her main roster debut has been viewed as only a matter of time.

Her last match took place at NXT Revenge on April 21, when she was defeated by Tatum Paxley in a Casket Match for the NXT Women’s North American Championship.
It is also worth remembering that SmackDown has recently received other call-ups from NXT, including Fatal Influence, the trio of Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid. In other words, Monroe’s arrival should add even more depth to the blue brand’s already busy women’s division.
