The latest episode of WWE NXT was special, given it was hosted outside the familiar territory of the brand in Orlando, Florida. Visiting the road, The CW show came, live from the 713 Music Hall in Houston, Texas, and it witnessed appearances by a set of WWE Hall of Famers. Additionally, the episode also offered the audience an exciting singles debut.
On the July 22 episode of WWE NXT, Blake Monroe, FKA Mariah May in All Elite Wrestling, made her singles in-ring debut on the weekly episode on CW and picked up a win over Wren Sinclair. Monroe started the match by sending Sinclair to the corner while Sinclair tried to fire back by implementing a technical style that she adopted from NQCC faction.
Monroe mostly had control in the match after hitting a sling-blade, followed by a tight chinlock while wrenching her arm behind Sinclair. Her opponent offered some big chops, but Monroe sent her face-first into the ropes, followed by a big head butt. Ultimately, Monroe hit a big slam and pinned Sinclair with a DDT move, getting her first WWE NXT singles victory.

After the bout was over, Monroe took the mic as she wanted to do some trash-talking about Jordynne Grace. Before she could say anything, Grace appeared through the crowd and headed right into the ring to grab hold of Monroe. Grace had to battle through the security team of WWE NXT, which allowed Monroe to grab her from behind and plant her with a DDT into a steel chair to end the segment.
