Nobody escapes the brutality of the occasional botch. Blake Monroe suffered the embarrassment of losing her NXT Women's North American Title to Thea Hail in mid-December by accident. That belt has since gone from Hail to Izzi Dame at New Year's Evil, which frees our Blake up for something bigger.

There's been some talk about the former Mariah May hitting WWE's main roster sooner rather than later. That's deserved. The ex-AEW star was always going to be on a fast track to Raw or SmackDown despite her stop off in developmental - she's someone the promotion can build their division around for years to come.

It'd be a fab start for the self-obsessed Brit if she mixed it with stars the size of Lynch and Flair before inking a deal with team red or blue after the Royal Rumble PLE.
