Blake Monroe’s time in STARDOM
Before WWE, Mariah May became one of STARDOM’s breakout gaijin stars in Japan.
As a member of Club Venus alongside Mina Shirakawa, she brought Western flair and serious fan engagement. Her growth in Japan caught WWE’s eye, leading to her eventual signing.
The STARDOM run gave her in-ring polish, international respect, and a fanbase that followed her across the world.
Mariah May was a victim of abuse revealed during the Speaking Out movement
During the height of the Speaking Out campaign in 2020, Monroe was one of the victims who spoke out about the abuse she had suffered.
On Twitter, Monroe accused Sid Scala of abusing her after training her at his wrestling school, while also getting involved in her personal and private life.
Despite the alegations, Scala was not fired by WWE and he attempted to sue Monroe over the allegations.
