"This is gonna be a really popular answer" - Blake Monroe names the WWE icon she wanted to marry

WWE NXT star Blake Monroe has revealed which WWE icon she admired while growing up. She also mentioned that she wanted to marry this legend. Monroe has been busy on NXT ever since she arrived on the brand in June this year.

She targeted the NXT Women's Champion Jacy Jayne and made her in-ring debut at the Great American Bash, teaming up with Jordynne Grace in a tag team match. Monroe is currently feuding with Grace after turning on her at WWE Evolution.

The Glamour recently sat down with The CW Sports for an interview and answered a few personal questions. She revealed that her favorite wrestler growing up was former WWE Champion Jeff Hardy.

"My favorite WWE superstar growing up, and I feel like this is definitely gonna be a really popular answer, but it's Jeff Hardy, it has to be. I wanted to be him or marry him, and neither really happened," Blake Monroe said.

You can watch the video below:

As part of The Hardy Boyz, Jeff Hardy got over with the fans due to his daredevil, risk-taking style of wrestling. Then as a singles star, fans rallied around him as he became a heartthrob babyface character.

Jeff Hardy would eventually capture his first WWE Championship in 2008 and would become a World Champion two more times.

Blake Monroe sent a warning to Jordynne Grace

After attacking Jordynne Grace at Evolution, Blake Monroe faced her in a one-on-one match at NXT Heatwave. The former AEW star came out on top after planting Grace with a Double Underhook DDT.

Last week on NXT, after Grace beat Kali Armstrong, Monroe made her way to the ring. The two stars started brawling and had to be separated by WWE officials.

This week, Monroe had a video segment in which she blamed the former TNA star for ruining "everything." She then proceeded to tell Grace that she is awakened and that she will see Grace "in hell."

About the author

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
