Sol Ruca burst onto the scene as a laid back surfer who was ready to make waves in NXT.
Though she is touted for her surfing ability on WWE television, she admits that she is not quite that person in real life.
"I am not a great surfer," Sol said on Busted Open Radio. "I can surf, but I'm not very good. I was born in Southern California. I love the beach, I have tattoos of sharks on my arm, I look the part. Lived in Hawaii for a few years. I've always loved surfing, I love all the surfing movies, but I had no time growing up to surf. I did snowboard. I grew up snowboarding. I'm much better at that. I started surfing probably when I was 12, which is pretty late to start a sport like surfing. I go as much as I can. I can stand up and do a little cut. The biggest wave I've ever surfed was six feet in Hawaii, which was one time. I'm not that great. I'm just okay."
She continued, "I have never been like, 'I'm a good surfer. I can surf.' It's always been them being like, 'Oh, this is what she does.' There's one package I did and there is a video of someone surfing and I'm like, 'that's not even me.' There is video of me surfing, but the wave was tiny."
Illusions have been shattered.
Sol is the reigning NXT Women's North American Champion. She picked up a victory over Karmen Petrovic on Tuesday's NXT.
