Although she didn’t make an immediate debut on Friday Night SmackDown, Blake Monroe has been confirmed by WWE as one of the names promoted to the main roster.

Monroe last competed in WWE NXT last Tuesday, when she was defeated by Tatum Paxley in a Casket Match for the NXT Women’s North American Championship.

Monroe appeared in a promotional video during this Friday’s show broadcast from Fort Worth, Texas. Her debut, while not yet officially dated, is listed as “coming soon.”

It’s also worth noting that Fatal Influence, the trio made up of Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, and Lainey Reid, made their debut on the same show, interfering in a match between Paige and Brie Bella against Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.

In addition, Jayne faced new champion Rhea Ripley in a non-title match.

It’s worth remembering that during her time in WWE’s developmental brand, Monroe captured the NXT Women’s North American Championship once.
