New member to join WWE NXT’s Vanity Project if Blake Monroe gets called up | Exclusive

With Blake Monroe’s potential call-up to the main roster a hot topic following her loss on Tuesday’s WWE NXT, our Bryan Alvarez has some news on who could join the Vanity Project if that happens.

Alvarez says that Myka Lockwood will join the faction if & when Monroe gets the call. Lockwood made her on-screen debut as a character during Tuesday’s show as a potential new love interest of Jackson Drake.

On the show, Shiloh Hill set up Drake on a date so he wouldn’t interfere in the Women’s North American title match (also a casket match) between Monroe and champion Tatum Paxley. However, the date stood him up.

Enter Lockwood who hit it off with Drake as she figured out that Hill had Drake fooled by an AI chatbot. The skit ended with Lockwood walking out of the bar with all three Vanity Project members.

Lockwood’s real name is Bayley Humphrey, a former Division 1 acrobatics & tumbling All-American from Baylor University. She was a member of the fourth class of the WWE NIL program in December 2023.

Alvarez added that her NXT finisher is “fricking awesome.”

WWE files trademark for new NXT wrestler name

WWE Performance Center prospect Bayley Humphrey has been assigned her in-ring name.

On March 10, WWE filed a trademark application for the term “Myka Lockwood.” Humphrey has since confirmed that it will be her wrestling name. She changed her social media accounts to the new name and sent out a tweet reacting to the trademark news.

The trademark filing lists that it is for goods and services related to pro wrestling performances, which is the standard language WWE uses when applying for a new name:

  • Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibitions and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer rendered live and through broadcast media including television and radio, and via the internet or commercial online service; providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network; providing information in the fields of sports and entertainment via an online community portal; providing a website in the field of sports entertainment information; fan club services, namely, organizing sporting events in the field of wrestling for wrestling fan club members; organizing social entertainment events for entertainment purposes for wrestling fan club members; providing online newsletters in the fields of sports entertainment; online journals, namely blogs, in the field of sports entertainment.

Humphrey was a base for Baylor University’s acrobatics and tumbling team while in college. After being part of the promotion’s NIL program, she joined WWE on a full-time basis and was featured on the first two seasons of the A&E competition series WWE: LFG (Legends and Future Greats). The show is returning with an all new format next month for season three.
