Recently, WWE signed one of the hottest free agents in town. It was none other than former AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May. The Glamor now goes by the name Blake Monroe in NXT. Following her appearance on the Tuesday Night show, former WWE Hardcore Champion Tommy Dreamer compared her arrival on NXT to a baseball player getting signed by the New York Yankees.
While speaking on the latest episode of the Busted Open Radio podcast, Tommy Dreamer shared why professional wrestlers want to sign with WWE. He also compared the signing to athletes wanting to join legendary sports teams such as the New York Yankees.
“I think there are those … established franchises that, like in any sport — ‘Oh, I want to be a Yankee.’ Why? Because they’re the oldest, they’ve been around, it’s the ‘Pride of the Yankees. They’ve always been glamorized as the ‘it’ team.” [H/T WrestlingINC.]
Dreamer also mentioned that while both All Elite Wrestling and WWE are airing Live on National Television, professional wrestlers want to compete in a WWE ring.
“They’re both on national television, but to become a global WWE superstar is what a lot of men and women aspire to be. It’s the allure of what WWE can do for you for the rest of your life,” Tommy Dreamer said. [H/T WrestlingINC.]
Blake Monroe officially signed her NXT contract last night on NXT.
