[9.0] "I am a big fan of Mariah/Blake, one of the things I appreciate the most about any performer is that they try to get any storyline they're given over, and she goes above and beyond every single time even when the material isn't that good. I hope to see big things in her future down the road because she gets the wrestling business."
[6.0] "I saw some of her work when she was floating around AEW; however, since jumping ship, she has been alright, most commonly beating jobbers or needing to cheat to win. Already becoming bland, especially for someone who has just won gold straight away. I do like her glamorous entrance; it was very well represented. Decent on the microphone as well. I might need to see more before making any final comments; might have the return back to this review."
[5.0] "A flash in the pan at this point. She hit some pretty great heights in Stardom and AEW, but has plummeted since joining WWE. All the hype she built up was reduced very quickly. From the start of 2025 to now is a very stark difference, to say the least. Still was involved in one of my favorite matches and feuds of the year, and I hope she's able to find herself once again."
[4.0] "Her stock has plummeted recently. All the momentum she had to start 2025 has evaporated into a mist of passe promos, average matches, and a character change into the type of generic blonde diva from 2005. She did so well in Stardom and AEW and now I don't see any of that brilliance in NXT."
[10.0] "I've seen enough, she is excellent in the ring. She is so comfortable and so direct with her moves. So far has been able to make every match she's been in a must see match. I can't wait to see how she progresses in wwe."
[10.0] "Blake Monroe Is future of wrestling proud of her future wwe women's champion long Live the glamour..... What a star at age 27 the future is bright with Blake Monroe real role model for everyone to follow their dreams"
[10.0] "Blake Monroe/Mariah May is the definition of a star, she's proved herself everywhere she's been so far. From showing out on the UK indies, to making a name for herself in Stardom, to signing with AEW and now WWE. She's truly inspiring, this was her dream and she dedicated her life to get here. I immediately became a fan of her once she debuted on Dynamite, her charisma, her look, her character work, her ring work is good, she's believable, I truly believed she was a horrible human being. She had one of the best modern storylines with Toni Storm those two were perfect for each other and pulled off an excellent story together along with RJ City. She's a fantastic heel, I enjoyed her heel work in vignettes, promos and during matches like at ALL IN with the infamous slap to her own mother, or taking Papa Rosa's cane at World's End, are just some examples. In WWE, she just had her first great match on WWE against Jordynne Grace at Heatwave where I feel like she got to showcase her talent for the first time in a competitive 1v1 setting, and she's just getting started. I think she will be one of the important pieces of the future WWE women's division, she's got it."
[6.0] "I've been following her run in NXT and unfortunately, as I expected, her success in AEW was almost entirely thanks to Shirakawa and Storm. In the ring she's nothing special; good on the mic (as a heel), but she still needs strong opponents or else things risk falling apart. They paired her with Grace and now she's feuding with her, which is the right choice, but I don't know how long she can keep going with this little game. She's 27 and still has room to grow, but right now she's NXT-level material and nothing more. She needs to learn to stand on her own two feet."
[3.0] "Blake Monroe might have the look, the gear, and the Instagram poses, but none of it feels like her own. Watching her wrestle is like flipping channels between Toni Storm and Tiffany Stratton -- except she's stuck on "bootleg mode." She's got Toni's "rockstar rebel" swagger but without the effortless charisma, and she's got Tiffany's glam-girl persona but without the timing, wit, or presence to pull it off. In the ring, her moves feel rehearsed instead of reactive, like she's more focused on remembering someone else's playbook than telling her own story. The mic work? More like karaoke night with someone reading from a script they didn't write. Instead of carving out her own niche, Monroe is content to be a patchwork version of two women who already do everything she's trying -- and do it leagues better. At the end of the day, Blake Monroe isn't bringing anything fresh to the table; she's just reheating someone else's leftovers and hoping no one notices."
[8.0] "I see her as I see Mina someone whom i see has some who has peeked yes she has that one classic match with Toni. Mina does not have that classic match outside of that they both huge consistency issues, output wise"
[4.0] "I think she's pretty overrated. She had, what, maybe 4 or 5 matches that were noteable and worth watching? And three of them were against Toni Storm. I'm not gonna say Toni carried the story, but she definitely helped it more than Mariah did. The fact that as soon as Toni went away for a whole and Mariah had her title reign, it was very uninteresting and kinda bad at certain points. She's alright in the ring but doesn't really stand out. She's got decent enough character work but doesn't really stand out. Nothing about her really stands out. She is young and has plenty of time to improve, and I hope she does. I'm happy for her that she's "home" and wish her the best."
[10.0] "Edit from previous 9 rate in 04/06/2025: i think that heel turn at Evolution 2 was the icing on the cake for a 10, Blake has a great in ring ability, her run on AEW was absolutly increable, awesome matches, awesome gimmick both in WWE and AEW, awesome theme song again in WWE and AEW, simply amazing. His mic skills are also great, his way of selling the moves reminds me of Maryse, she nail being both babyface and heel"
[8.0] "Mariah has some of the most upside in pro wrestling. At her young age she already has the best women's storyline and match in American wrestling history. Very talented and has a great look"
[9.0] "Huge fan of Mariah May's work in AEW with Timeless Toni Storm, and the work she's put in has paid off now that she's made her way to the big leagues in world wrestling entertainment as Blake Monroe - definitely one to keep an eye on, as WWE's women's division quickly becomes the best"
[10.0] "When she debuted in AEW I didn't know much of her, then finding out she made her name for herself major in Stardom I realized how big of a deal she is, and then, wow, the career and literally everything she did in AEW was just perfection man. She can wrestle, talk so well on the mic, she has the entire package, personality, she is a massive draw. With her incredible feud with Toni Storm was just everything the women's division needed with AEW, they were literally carrying PPV's almost all the time when they were booked. The Hollywood Ending was just how Storm would say, CINEMA! Buuuttt now. She no longer there anymore, she moved up, big times. She has finally debuted in the WWE in NXT. Mind you she had 100 out of her about to near hit only 200 matches, were in Stardom, like the amount of praise with the hype she carriers with not even 200 matches is crazy to me, unreal. We all are waiting now for her to become NXT Women's Champion sooner than later of course. The dream matches that we can only imagine now within NXT and the WWE main roster of the women's division on Raw & Smackdown. Big things to come for Mariah May, I also don't want damn TKO or whoever that wants to change her name, she should be allowed and no reason to not keep it, if not, it is what it is, just hope she gets the proper treatment that we believe she does deserve."
[7.0] "Mariah has charisma for days, shot phenomenal promos week in & week out with AEW, & has not yet disappointed me in ring. She seems to have worked abnormally hard on the indies (the extensive signature moves list speaks for itself, my goodness), & is definitely reaping the rewards of her hard work through her success with AEW & title reign. It's rare that I'm this impressed with someone this fast & I look forward to see what NXT can do with her. I don't understand people discontented with the new name. It's no JC Mateo & it's certainly no Dolph Ziggler (what the fuck was that fr? )."
"Everything is pointing to WWE wanting to change her ring name; let's hope it's something good. As for Mariah herself, it'll be interesting to see what she'll do in North America without Toni and Tony. She kinda looked a bit similar to Stratton last night; I hope her gimmick and character doesn't become a copy/paste of Tiffy's because I know she can be more than that. Welcome to your dream promotion, Mariah!"
[9.0] "My wife is raging. My feelings are complex. I'm not even a fan and Mariah can generate this much...emotion. She was a star in AEW. She'll be a legend in the Fed. Tony Storm's masterpiece. And now, that character is completed with the final betrayal. What if Luke had stabbed Leia in the back or if Sam had stolen the ring? There's a tragic beauty in this. Pain. In a world of fake, real hearts are breaking. And Mariah's may be one of them. This couldn't have been an easy decision. Tony Khan gave her everything. And she took it all and walked away for more. Now, we'll find out if it was for the money, for the culture, or if it really was all about Mariah."
[10.0] "One of my favorite talents in aew Mariah May is an absolute menace on the mic her promos are insanely good she is the perfect heel. And is very good in the ring she is an excellent story teller from start to finish I've been following her before she became a wrestler and was a YouTuber creating wrestling content I am extremely proud of her she deserves it and hopefully gets to fulfill her dream to go wrestle for wwe."
[9.0] "Mariah had a good starter career in Stardom & then quickly conquered everything that AEW had to offer. She's now expected to move to WWE, which is where the true test will begin. That said, I feel like she's still at the very beginning of her career. I'm hoping she can make waves in WWE, where there is much more room to dive into more stories. I don't want to take anything away from her program in AEW with Toni. It was probably the best story from AEW's women in that company's history. But the problem for Mariah is that there was nothing for her to do there once that concluded, as Tony Khan had not built up anyone else for her to work with. Mariah is good in the ring & has the ability to make some good memories in this business, so long as she has people to work with."
[10.0] "Mariah is unbelievable! Her career has just gone from strength to strength since I first saw her in Stardom, and through an all-timer feud with Toni Storm (solidifed by an all-timer Hollywood Ending! ) she has established herself as one of the premiere wrestlers in the world today. Awesomely compelling on the mic and in the ring, Mariah rules, and I cannot wait to see where she goes from here!"
[10.0] "She's a wrestling prodigy, a standout in this century. Her talent in the ring is undeniable, matched by exceptional mic skills and a captivating charisma. This combination makes her a force to be reckoned with. Her acting and storyline prowess, especially alongside Toni Storm, elevates their narratives to new heights. Their chemistry is electric, showcasing her ability to deliver compelling performances. She's not just a wrestler; she's a gifted entertainer, weaving stories with skill and passion. Her potential is immense, marking her as a future icon in the world of professional wrestling."
[8.0] "Mariah May plays the best "bitch" in wrestling. IMO she's a better version of Liv Morgan, a harder hitter, better promo's, and better in the ring."
[10.0] "Edit: I freaking LOVE this woman. I am giving her the full 10 here. She is an ABSOLUTE star, and she makes for an entertaining & compelling villain. AEW struck gold by pushing her to the moon, and committing with Mariah since Day 1. Now here is the rest of my old review that I made earlier this year. Honestly, Mariah May seems to be good in the ring from the limited matches/highlights that I've seen from her on YouTube and Twitter since summer 2019. I particularly like the execution of her Springboard Miissile Dropkick (off the corner) as an example off the top of my head. I'd like to see Mariah compete in WWE or in AEW some day. EDIT: I made my original review for Mariah May back on August 28th, 2022. I freaking LOVE Mariah now! She is THE full package. Mariah is pretty damn good in the ring. She is a really good talker. She definitely oozes charisma. She has a lot of personality, and she shines brightly as a character with Toni Storm. She is one of the hottest acts in the AEW women's division. She also has an excellent look too! Mariah May is secretly one of AEW's best hires on the women's side over the last 2 years (along with Toni Storm and Mercedes Mone). I am bumping my original rating from a 7 to a JUSTIFIED 9 here. I would not even be surprised if I give Mariah the full 10 within the next couple of years at this rate (which I eventually did several months later)."
[9.0] "Mariah May is more than just a pretty face. She's an exceptionally good wrestler as well. And since joining AEW last year, she has impressed us with her wrestling prowess, as well as her promotional skills. Also, who could forget that storyline she had with "Timeless" Toni Storm?"
[7.0] "Ich kannte Sie nicht vor ihrer AEW-Zeit und kann daher nur eingeschränkt bewerten. Alles in allem, denke ich haben wir eine Solide Wrestlerin mit Persönlichkeit, die schon berechtigterweise im Womens Main Event steht, muss der Titel sein? Ich denke schon, denn du musst Leute auch aufbauen damit Sie auch in Zukunft im Titelgeschehen mitmischen und Relevanz bekommen."
[9.0] "She is a great wrestler and has improved greatly since coming into AEW. She and Toni Storm have one of the greatest women's stories in AEW. Her mic skills improved and she still young talent wise."
[7.0] "Aktuell hat sie meiner Meinung nach noch nicht ihren großen Durchbruch gehabt jedoch sehe ich bei ihr eine Große Zukunft da sie so wohl den Look als auch das können am Mikrofon und im Ring hat um einmal eine Ganz Große zu werden. Mal sehen was die Zeit bringt."
[8.0] "Mariah May is a good wrestler. She has improved a lot since coming to AEW. Do I think she really is the best in AEW? No, However top 3....yes. Has great promo skills. Solid wrestling work and very charismatic. Her feud with Toni Storm has been great. Hoping her to rid AEW of Toni and her terrible overacting.. I think putting the title on her so new to the company has been more strategic as I expect Jaymie Hayter is being setup to take that title back, which would be "best for business." However, Mariah May has a bright future in wrestling."
"[8.0] Shes great, genuinely one of my favorites to watch at the moment, probably has my favorite segment of the year and rivalry of the year with Toni Storm shes a Great promo and has a great confident look but she can definitely in prove in the ring, I say give it a year and shell be one of the best female wrestlers on the planet"
[7.0] "Mariah May is awesome, she's a quick learner, was born to be a star, has the business in her hands, the way she quickly fit in so well in AEW is impressive, never looked to have a trouble adapting, she is a really valuable asset into any women's division, and is also extremely reliable in the ring, can work incredibly stiff, and carry most of her matches, in the ring and also with the charisma. A perfect mix of talent and personality."
[7.0] "She's solid in the ring, especially for her level of experience. I think she has that presence & charisma that'll make her a star in this business."
[8.0] "Above average worker, needs work on her promo work, mostly just with her breathing and getting her voice under her. She has another gear or two to reach before she really puts it all together, but she's damn entertaining to watch"
"She's extremely talented. Totally immerses herself in whatever she is doing. Solid in ring work. Needs a little work on the mic. Within year she will be top tier"
[9.0] "Mariah May is that bitch! Its crazy to have seen her since 2018-19 when she was recording YouTube videos and talking about wrestling schools and was known as WWE shop girl to now. As an in ring competitor shes improved so much competing on a level many wouldnt have thought of she can have a hard hitting matchup a fast paced one and she knows how to get the crowds on her side she can cut good promos and has a character & personality. She truly is gonna be a star if we cant call her one already."
[8.0] "Mariah is an entertaining wrestler with a great look and tons of charisma. I watched the majority of her matches in Stardom and she was often among the most over wrestlers towards of the end of her run as she excelled in engaging audiences. Rating Mariah based on look, promo, and in-ring ability, I would rate her as 10-9-7. She is clearly confident with her look, character, and she always has awesome ring gear. I have watched a handful of promos since Mariah signed with AEW and it looks like she has done well in this department as well. She started as a ring announcer so clearly she is confident speaking in front of audiences. Finally, it's somewhat hard to judge Mariah's in-ring ability since she ate a lot of pins in Stardom. Still, she knew how to work crowds and like every other part of her personality, she showed confidence in the ring. I don't recall any glaring botches and always felt entertained watching her wrestle. All in all, Mariah is likely to continue improving and should be pushed accordingly."
[7.0] "May has a lot of things going for her. She developed into a very good wrestler during her time in Stardom. She knows how to get a crowd involved in the match and she has pretty good charisma and mic skills to make herself stand out in any women's division. She is still young and she has a lot of time to reach her potential in the business."
[8.0] "An absolute rising star with boundless potential, anyone that doubts her ability should go and watch her epic bout with Giulia. Massively excited to see what she does in AEW as she seems to have come at the perfect time as AEW seem to be investing a lot more time in their womens roster. Wishing her all the best in what im sure will be a generational run! :)"
[5.0] "She looks like a star and carries herself like a star but for me she needs a lot of work in terms of in ring skill. She has improved since being in Stardom but I feel she is still not on the level of the of the top female wrestlers in Japan or from the UK"
[7.0] "Mariah May have all the tools to be a top star anywhere, she has the personality, charisma and looks, she was a solid wrestler before Stardom but now she's definitely way better, she has improved so much, her being part of Club Venus was really something super useful for her."
"10.0 Stars Mariah May is hands down one of the best up and coming stars , I got to meet her back during the Rumble 2019 and I have been a fan of hers ever since , Living her dream of being a champion in Stardom cant wait to see her take over the world, -Cage211"
[5.0] "She is still pretty new to Stardom so we'll see how much she will improve. For now she's obviously not at the level of any midcard wrestler but she's also not booked to beat any of them regularly so her treatment seems fair. With that said, even if she has to improve in the ring, she is charismatic and funny. The crowd seems to love her so that's a good thing for her."
[8.0] "I really am only familiar with her work since she's come into Stardom. When she made her debut I didn't know what to expect. Here was an obviously beautiful, tall, athletic blonde but other than that, I wasn't sure. I think her first couple matches she acquitted herself well but it was obvious that she was having to adjust to being put into matches with unfamiliar wrestlers, a totally different style, and having to deal with being in a new country with a language barrier. But the speed at which she was able to adapt was incredible. It wasn't long before she was mixing it up with the roster, laying her stuff in hard, and connecting with the crowd. It was awesome to see and by all accounts, she's put in the work necessary. She's recently been added to the 5* GP which is really big for her. I have no idea how long she might be in Stardom for (I would imagine any of the big promotions in the West would absolutely love to have her on their roster) but I hope it's a while because she's been a great addition. Oh, and she really impressed when she did the English commentary for the Allstar Grand Queendom show on basically maybe...ten minutes notice? She was funny, was able to stay in character while putting over the other wrestlers, didn't really speak over the other commentators...in short, she was a wonderful addition and really helped add that little extra to what is make pick for show of the year so far."
[8.0] "I may be biased, because I love Mariah but I think she really is great in Stardom. Her presence is almost completely different to others on the roster, I think that she has great promos, pretty decent in-ring abilities and is a lovely crowd worker. Although I will dock a point though because...well she is from Tottenham."
[5.0] "Beautiful face, nice body, good interactions with the crowd. It's all for now. Nothing espetacular in-ring, but, she's still on the beggining of her way, and things could change in future. For now, a 5. Let's wait for more."
[8.0] "Before she came to Stardom, I vaguely knew about Mariah May. Over the four months since she's joined though, she's become one of my favorites. She's sassy, charismatic, and fun. She's also better in the ring than her experience level would indicate. I don't know if she'll stick around for the long haul but if she does, she has the potential to become a notable player in the company."
[7.0] "Stardom are renowned for making women into much better wrestlers in a limited timeframe and I think she is improving well with them. I like her look/charisma and she is starting to fit in well. I look forward to seeing her in a singles match to get a better idea of her strengths and weaknesses."
[7.0] "An up and coming performer who is improving as time progresses. At her current rate of improvement could well make herself a star in the future."
