Sol Ruca Believes She Was ‘Doing So Much’ Prior To Suffering A Torn ACL Because She Wanted To Be The Best

Sol Ruca believes she was ‘doing so much’ before she suffered a torn ACL back in 2023.

In April of 2023, Sol would suffer a torn ACL injury, keeping her out of action for just over a year. Upon her return, she would kick off a wave of momentum that would last through to her WWE main roster callup earlier this year.

While speaking to Italian Wrestling Channel in an interview prior to Clash In Italy, Sol Ruca explained that she felt she was doing so much prior to her injury because she wanted to be the best.

“Every day I kind of just listen to my body and figure out what I need to work on, what I need to do. When I first got into NXT and into wrestling, I was doing powerlifting and I was doing gymnastics on the side and I ended up getting hurt and I think that was because I was just doing so much because I just wanted to be the best. But with wrestling it’s such a hard thing to do on your body, that you really have to listen to your body and understand what you need instead of pushing it. So now I kind of just listen to my body and figure out, you know, do I need to do some calisthenics today, some like handstand work to get my spatial awareness a little bit better, or if I need to do some strength training or running, whatever that may be.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Sol would speak about what careers she would have pursued if she was not a pro wrestler. You can read more about that here.
