In her year with WWE, Blake Monroe has had a single run with the NXT Women's NorthAmerican Championship, and while she's still awaiting her main roster debut after being called up, Monroe has lofty aspirations for her future in the promotion."I love the Divas Championship," Monroe proclaimed during an interview with The Sportster. "The butterfly belt, like, it was cute. It would match my outfit. Don't let me get my hands on that title or I might swap them out."Additionally, Monroe was also asked who she would face from a previous era, and quickly decided on WWE Hall ofFamer TrishStratus."I feel like she's just the GOAT.She's the ultimate diva, and I say that with respect because I know people down-talk diva," she said. "To me, it's not a negative term. It's just the female version of a superstar. But she exuded that energy, like being a diva. She had so much charisma, and her promos, and her gear, and she was just so many women are inspired by her."Monroe isn't the first current-day women's wrestler who has attempted to change the narrative surrounding the Divas Champion. Charlotte Flair historically retired the belt and looked back on her run with it, proclaiming that Flair and WWE never retired the belt because there was a negative stigma surrounding it, but instead because they wanted to usher in a new era of Women's wrestling. Flair also expressed the desire to still be called a Diva and emphasized that there's nothing wrong with it.If you use any quotes from this article, please credit "TheSportster" and provide a h/t toWrestling Inc. for the transcription.
