WWE fans can’t get enough of Blake Monroe—and her latest Instagram post is proof. The 28-year-old wrestler, who made the leap from All Elite Wrestling to WWE in June 2025, sent social media into overdrive this week with a sizzling swimsuit photo that racked up more than 28,000 likes in no time.
Monroe, who competed in AEW under her real name Mariah May, has quickly become a fan favorite since joining WWE’s NXT brand. But it’s her presence off the mat that’s stealing headlines now. The photo, which shows Monroe posing confidently in a swimsuit, drew a flood of comments from admirers. “Absolutely beautiful,” one fan wrote. Another added, “Blaking the internet,” while a third declared, “Blake ATE and has left no crumbs.”
This isn’t Monroe’s first brush with viral fame. Even before her WWE contract, she made waves in AEW by winning the Women’s World Championship in August 2024. Her journey from ring announcer to champion is the stuff of wrestling lore—she started announcing in 2019 before stepping into the ring and quickly proving she had the chops to hang with the best.
Now, Monroe is poised for her biggest stage yet. WWE teased her promotion to the main roster this Friday by airing a video package for “The Glamour,” a nod to her NXT debut. The move to SmackDown had been rumored for weeks, especially after whispers of a call-up just before WrestleMania 42. While she didn’t compete at the Show of Shows, her social media buzz suggests she’s already a star in the making.
Monroe’s swimsuit snap isn’t an isolated incident—it’s part of a broader trend of athletes turning up the heat online. Just last week, Carson Beck's ex Hanna Cavinder sent NFL fans into a frenzy with her own stunning swimsuit snap, proving that the intersection of sports and social media is hotter than ever. And it’s not just football—Camila Giorgi’s sizzling swimsuit snap drove tennis fans wild earlier this month, showing that athletes across disciplines know how to work the camera.
For Monroe, the attention is just the beginning. She’s already conquered AEW’s mountain, and now she’s setting her sights on WWE gold. With SmackDown calling, the question isn’t if she’ll win a title—it’s when. Given her track record, don’t be surprised to see her holding the WWE Women’s Championship within the next 12 months.
Fans are eating up every moment of Monroe’s rise, from her in-ring prowess to her off-screen charisma. As she prepares to step into the SmackDown spotlight, one thing is clear: Blake Monroe is here to stay, and she’s bringing the heat—both in the ring and on Instagram.
