Blake Monroe and Jordynne Grace: The Road to NXT GAB
On a significant night when Jacy Jayne defends the NXT Women’s Championship against Jordynne Grace at WWE Evolution, a tag team match will see Grace and Blake Monroe take on Jayne and her partner Fallon Henley. Grace has been vying for women’s titles even before her official tenure with WWE, transitioning from TNA to challenge Roxanne Perez during her championship reign. After attempts to dethrone Stephanie Vaquer at both Stand & Deliver and Battleground on May 27, Grace redirected her focus on the new champion, Jayne.
Blake Monroe is a recent addition to the WWE roster, marking her television debut. This follows her loss to Tony Storm in the "Hollywood Ending" match at AEW Revolution in March, and she is already making waves in NXT. With that context, let’s reflect on what has transpired up to this point.
Blake Monroe’s Debut and Partnership with Jordyn Grace
During a post-title celebration for Jacy Jayne, which followed Vaquer’s exit from the championship picture, numerous women were brought up, including Monroe. On June 17, Monroe signed her contract in the ring alongside General Manager AVA, sparking a confrontation with Jayne that escalated violently when Monroe slapped her.
Meanwhile, Grace secured her place in the final four of the Eliminator Tournament for the Evolution title. After defeating Vice in the first round, she continued her winning streak against Parker, Legend, and Dam. Just as her victories seemed to bring her hope, Jayne’s faction struck back, putting Grace at a disadvantage—only for Monroe to intervene and call for a tag team match, setting the stage for an electrifying showdown against Jayne and Henley.
Fan Take: This storyline is pivotal for wrestling fans as it showcases the rising tensions and alliances within NXT, highlighting the evolving dynamics of female wrestling. The outcomes of these matches could redefine title opportunities and rivalries, sparking further excitement and engagement in the sport.
