Blake Monroe Discusses The Differences Between Being In NXT And On The WWE Main Roster

Blake Monroe discusses the differences between being in NXT and being on the WWE main roster now she is on SmackDown.

At the end of June, Monroe would make her WWE main roster debut by attacking Giulia after weeks of vignettes. Prior to this she had been a major part of NXT, becoming Women’s North American Champion on WWE’s developmental brand.

While speaking to Denise Salcedo in a new interview, Blake Monroe would speak on the differences between NXT and the WWE main roster.

“It is different because NXT is based in Orlando and we train four days a week at NXT. I mean, you can still go back and stuff, but it’s a different process. I think NXT too, so many people are new. So it’s really, really hands on in the capacity of, these people have never done TV before wrestling. So that was amazing because for me, even coming in with the experience I had, they were so good in helping me shape the character, Blake Monroe, and The Glamour, and how I talk and how I walk, whereas the main roster, you’ve got to have a little bit more independence. You’re going on the road by yourself, you’re flying by yourself, and when it comes to promos, you have a little bit more freedom of, ‘what would you say here?’ So you have to know yourself. Whereas I think NXT, they help you figure out who you are, and then the main roster, it’s like, we’re on the biggest stage now, you need to know who you are, and I think that’s a little bit of a change, but it was one i was ready for. I feel like I know myself back to front. If anyone knows themselves, it’s me so no I’ve been loving it, and both have been an amazing experience, and I feel like I’m just getting started on SmackDown.”
