Ex-AEW Star Captures WWE Championship in Stunning Victory

Former AEW star Blake Monroe has made a big impact in WWE, capturing her first title since joining the company. Monroe, who previously wrestled in AEW under the name Mariah May and held the AEW Women’s World Championship, won the NXT Women’s North American Championship at NXT Halloween Havoc.

Monroe faced Zaria, who stepped in for an injured Sol Ruca. The match was intense, with both competitors showing resilience despite injuries and setbacks.

Monroe focused on Zaria’s arm throughout the match, using submission holds and repeated strikes to gain the upper hand. Zaria fought back with power moves, but Monroe’s strategy ultimately paid off.

The finish came after Monroe hit her signature Glamour Shot DDT twice, finally securing the pinfall and the championship. After the victory, Monroe celebrated her first WWE title win, marking a major milestone in her career and signaling the start of a new era in NXT.

The outcome also raises questions about the future of Zaria and Ruca, who assisted her during the match. Once Ruca recovers from her injury, a potential singles match between her and Monroe could further develop the storyline, possibly leading to tension or a feud between Zaria and Ruca.

Monroe’s victory shows that former AEW stars can quickly make a mark in WWE. Her win not only highlights her talent but also sets up intriguing storylines for the future of NXT. How do you feel about Monroe becoming champion? Share your thoughts in the comments.
