Blake Monroe Defends NXT After WWE Moves Stand & Deliver Away From WrestleMania Weekend

TLDR

Blake Monroe defended NXT's decision to move Stand & Deliver away from WrestleMania weekend for the first time in years. In an interview with ReviewSTL, Monroe stated that while WrestleMania weekend previously helped bring extra attention to NXT, she believes the brand has grown strong enough as a "third brand" to carry its own major event without needing that support. Monroe expressed confidence that NXT can prove itself by running a successful standalone show and called it an opportunity for the brand to demonstrate its independence.
