Blake Monroe Reveals She Wanted To Marry Ex-WWE Champion
Blake Monroe recently got candid about life outside WWE.
The NXT star debuted for the Stamford promotion in June 2025 after quitting All Elite Wrestling in May. Previously called Mariah May, she was rebranded as Blake Monroe.
The 27-year-old made her in-ring debut at the Great American Bash, teaming up with Jordynne Grace to defeat the Fatal Influence duo of Jacy Jayne and Fallon Henley.
She’s currently a heel figure on the brand after she turned on Grace at WWE Evolution.
During a chat with The CW, Monroe touched upon a few personal topics, also revealing that she went to culinary school and is a trained chef.
She named Jeff Hardy as her favorite wrestler growing up, while adding she wanted to marry him.
My favorite WWE superstar growing up, and I feel like this is gonna be a really popular answer, but it’s Jeff Hardy. It has to be. I wanted to be him or marry him, and neither really happened.
