WWE ’s Bubba Ray Dudley , one-half of the legendary Dudley Boyz tag team, recently spoke to Fox News Digital about the bold arrival of Blake Monroe in WWE’s NXT brand and made a prediction that could shake up the women’s division.
Blake Monroe, who made her WWE debut earlier this month for the NXT brand as the company continued its tear of free-agent signings, shook up the pro wrestling landscape. Monroe, who was formerly known as Mariah May, made a name for herself in Stardom and was a women’s champion at All Elite Wrestling and ended her time there after an epic feud with Toni Storm.
Now, she has her sights on NXT women’s champion Jacy Jayne and the rest of the Fatal Influence faction, hoping to add another feather in her cap very soon.
Bubba Ray Dudley makes bold predictions
Pro wrestling legend Bubba Ray Dudley told Fox News Digital in a recent interview that Blake Monroe has maximized her potential in her previous role and that coming to WWE was the right move.
During his interview, Bubba Ray Dudley said, "Blake Monroe has caught my eye, caught my attention over the last couple of years, for the body of work she was involved with in another company.”
He further added, "She did a phenomenal job and maxed out her potential there. I don’t think Blake Monroe could have gotten better at where she was. I don’t think there was enough talent that was better than her for her to work up to.”
Praising Monroe Bubba Ray added, "I don’t know if there were enough minds that could have worked with Blake Monroe to have her be the sports entertainer she could be. I didn’t use the word pro wrestler, I used sports entertainer because when you look at Blake Monroe’s body of work the last couple of years, it's more sports entertainer than pro wrestler to me, and at the end of the day it’s World Wrestling Entertainment."
"So, I think Blake Monroe coming into NXT was a very smart move on her behalf, working with all this new talent, I believe working with Shawn Michaels and working with all the talented creative people he has under him and the producers," he said. "Blake is truly going to shine in the system. And I think she will go on and be a big star in the WWE," he said about her.
