Blake Monroe Opens Up About Preferring Life in the U.S. Over Her Native U.K.

Born and raised in London, WWE’s Blake Monroe has made no secret of the fact that trading in the U.K. for the United States suits her just fine. Appearing on Tiffany Stratton’s Twitch stream, Monroe joked about how much happier she is living stateside compared to her upbringing overseas.

Monroe, who grew up in the U.K. before eventually making her way to America, touched on how the move changed her in ways she didn’t fully anticipate. While the comments were made in a lighthearted tone, the sentiment was clear — life on this side of the Atlantic has agreed with her.

It’s a relatable story for a number of WWE performers who’ve relocated from abroad to pursue opportunities with the company, often settling near the WWE Performance Center in Orlando or in cities closer to the weekly television tapings. For Monroe, the transition appears to have been a genuinely positive one, both personally and professionally.

Still building her profile on the WWE roster, Monroe’s appearance alongside Stratton — one of WWE’s most prominent women’s division figures and current SmackDown Women’s Champion — speaks to the kind of relationships being forged among the locker room’s newer and established talents. Whether the two are aligned in any on-screen capacity or simply connected off-camera, the stream gave fans a candid glimpse at Monroe away from the scripted product.

For a performer still carving out her place in WWE, moments like these help fans connect with the person behind the character — and Monroe clearly has personality to spare.
