Veteran WWE star believes that Blake Monroe aka Mariah May is “the total package”
During an appearance on Busted Open Radio, veteran WWE star Natalya commented on the arrival of former AEW star Mariah May who is now known as Blake Monroe in NXT…
“I’m excited for her and I think this is gonna be fun chapter for her and again, going back to — you know, we were talking about Stephanie (Vaquer) last week and so, Mariah has a similar journey where like, she went out and explored the world before coming to WWE. She was a fan. She loved it. You know and realize, okay, she was a fan, then she wanted to pursue this, then she moved to Japan and she basically became a student of the game and so while she’s very beautiful and some people might go, oh, she was a model that wanted to do this or — she is beautiful but she also — I can tell that she really fought for this and that she really worked hard for this… I like the way she tells stories. I like even the way she handles herself on social media and the way that she has told stories in the past. She’s a good, little storyteller and so I’m excited to see the stories that she’s gonna tell with the women at NXT. I’m excited to see her and Jacy Jayne mix up and tear it up with these two different styles because Jacy Jayne, brand-new champion.
Mariah has what I think is the total package. She can speak, she looks amazing. She looks the part and she can go in the ring. She’s put the time in, she’s put the work in. Listen, we don’t want the blood but if sometimes, as we know and this happens in what we do, if you get busted open in the ring and she’s shown that she can work through it. I remember Trish Stratus, one of the things that won Trish Stratus over so much with the audience was when she broke her nose. She broke her nose in a match and then she just kept wrestling and she kept going and then she continued to wrestle after that. She put on the faceguard and I think Mariah May has that grit about her where she’s like, f*ck it, I’m beautiful, and I’m gonna work through it. I’m going to show you that I’m not just another pretty face. I just think that people are all of a sudden now going — and that’s what’s exciting when you get somebody new in the division going, oh, I wanna see Mariah versus Tiffany (Stratton), I wanna see Mariah against this person or that person. I’m excited to see what she’s gonna do at NXT but I’m also like, thinking, mhm, maybe we’ll get Mariah at Evolution.” (quote courtesy of Andrew Thompson)
