WWE might be going in a new creative direction with a top NXT talent, according to a report. Former AEW star Blake Monroe (fka Mariah May) made her NXT debut on June 3, sending a warning that she was coming for the NXT Women's Championship. Monroe has been positioned as a face after she shot a video of herself talking about what it meant for her to be a WWE star.
It looks like the company is already looking to have the newcomer primed for a change in her creative direction. A report from Fightful Select has indicated that a heel run for Monroe will likely be set up for the "near future."
The report mentioned that the turn has already been discussed and that there are long-term plans for her in NXT. While it has not been revealed when the turn can happen, it will be interesting to see how and when WWE decides to pull the trigger on the move.
