Blake Monroe is speaking up about NXTs future after the brand made a major scheduling change this year. This news comes after NXT moved Stand & Deliver out of WrestleMania weekend for the first time in years, a shift that caught attention across the wrestling world. Instead of running alongside WrestleMania festivities, the show is now positioned on its own, putting more focus on NXT as a standalone brand. During a recent conversation with ReviewSTL, Monroe was asked directly about the change and whether moving Stand & Deliver away from WrestleMania weekend affects how the show is viewed. She didnt hesitate to defend the decision and made it clear she believes NXT is strong enough to carry its own major event. She explained that while WrestleMania weekend once helped bring extra eyes to NXT, the brand has grown to the point where it no longer needs that support. Monroes comments make it clear that the move away from WrestleMania weekend isnt seen as a setback inside NXT. Instead, she framed it as a chance to prove the brand can headline its own major event without relying on WrestleMania crowds. With Stand & Deliver now standing on its own calendar spot, the pressure is on to show that NXT can draw attention without the built-in momentum of WrestleMania week. Monroes confidence suggests the locker room sees this as a moment to prove exactly how far the brand has come.
