Live NXT June 10th 2025 Discussion Thread - Oba Femi vs Jasper Troy - NXT Championship

[Tommy Shelby]

OK so she went with a totally random name. Blake Monroe

I think it's a throwback to Marilyn. It's Blake I don't get she should of went Mariah Monroe sounds WAY better

 

[Tommy Shelby]

I've been looking forward to seeing to Big Dudes Jasper v Oba. Never seen anyone look bigger than Oba . Jasper is one big dude

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Man both Guys are beating the shit out of each other. Like Jasper using the Big Boss Man finisher. Wasn't called Black Hole Slam that's what it was called TNA when Abyss used it.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

There goes the safety barrier. Jasper left shoulder was up. Oba wins . Man that was good!!

NXT slowly becoming my favourite show of the week must admit

 

[Jimmy King]

I figured Monroe was from Marilyn, and I think the tribute to her niece with Blake is sweet. I like the name tbh, it’s one of the better name changes imo.

 

[Chris]

My only issue with the name is that in the segment they set up the reveal to rhyme perfectly with "May" and then it did not whatsoever lmaooo

 

[Y2Jayne]

I have no idea who this Lainey Reid person is. But apparently she got a title shot tonight so good on her.

She was a crowd favorite on Level Up. Basically the female Dante Chen. I'm glad she's getting a little push but I wish she kept the cowgirl looks.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Blake Monroe is a cool name, I think it sounds better than Mariah May actually.

Same company that almost gave Gunther the "Stark" last name

 

[Dubb]

I strongly dislike the name. Sounds like a random name generation. Mariah Monroe was right there.

She did it for her niece. I like it. People are such Scrooges

 

[O-Blaze]

I'm not the biggest fan of the name, but I understand the reasoning behind it and that makes me like it a little more.

 

[Professor Booty]

I really dig it makes me feel like she wanted to leave the whole Mariah thing in the past and carve a new path

 

[Chris]

It's very bland and inoffensive to me like a lot of the PC names that aren't the silly ones. So yeah I'm very neutral lol I like it better than Saints I think as that hadn't grown on me like I thought. And if she leaves she just goes back to Mariah may without much issue
