Following the lost, WWE confirmed she will be joining SmackDown soon. That announcement created buzz around her debut. Mark Henry spoke about Monroe’s potential. He explained why he sees her succeeding on the main roster.
Mark Henry says Blake Monroe has what it takes to succeed
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Mark Henry said Monroe stands out in many ways. He described her as someone everyone will enjoy working with. He said, “What’s even better about Blake Monroe, and I know this sounds so crazy, but she’s one of the boys. Everybody’s gonna love her. She is an old school, throwback wrestler. She’s funny and crass.”
“She said something in AEW in the training room one time, I turned I was like, ‘What did you say?’ She’s just got it. When you like people, you work harder for them and she works hard. You watch her matches and she’ll do anything and everything to succeed. And her wrestling skillset is that she can adapt to everybody’s stuff.”
He also highlighted her versatility as a key strength. He said she can do everything inside the ring. “She doesn’t have a weakness, and there’s very few wrestlers that can flip and fly, that can grapple, chain wrestle, that can swing them and punch and kick, that can do everything. She can do everything.” [H/T: wrestlingnews.co]
