Sol Ruca Speaks About Partnership With ZARIA: “I Don’t Think We’re Supposed To Be Tagging This Long”
Ruca thinks her and ZARIA’s extended partnership is because of a social media post going viral.
From July 12th through July 13th, WWE is presenting three events: NXT Great American Bash, WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, and WWE Evolution.
The reigning WWE Women’s Speed and Women’s North American Champion Sol Ruca is one of several talents scheduled for in-ring action at both Great American Bash and Evolution. She talked to The Masked Man Show about her two upcoming title matches.
“Honestly, I’m just thinking one match at a time, one day at a time. Just defended my Speed Title. That was one of ‘em, got that one done. Now it’s time to focus on the North American Championship against Izzi Dame. That one is going to be interesting. I know we are a little bit outnumbered. ZARIA’s gonna be out there with me but, Izzi’s got her whole Culling family and Tatum (Paxley) so, not only am I trying to defeat Izzi, I’m also trying to pretty much defeat The Culling because they definitely love to cheat. I’m just gonna say that. But I know I’ll have ZARIA on the outside but, that’s going to be an interesting one. We’ll see how that goes and then, onto Evolution. ZARIA and I are definitely extremely nervous just being in the ring with such incredible vets, and also, her and I have never had a match like this. We’ve never been in a four-way tag match so, a little bit out of our element. But, I thrive under pressure so, I’m excited.”
Ruca and her partner ZARIA will be part of a four-way tag match for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles at Evolution. Speaking about their partnership, Ruca believes they were not supposed to team up this long.
“There’s so many things that happen just because of social media posts. ZARIA and I, I don’t think we’re supposed to be tagging this long. But, we made a post and it kind of went viral and people loved it and now we’ve been stuck together for the past few months.”
As for what lies ahead for Ruca, the idea of a main roster call-up was brought up. She stated that she’s content in NXT and has a lot left to learn there.
“I definitely think I have a lot left to learn and I am completely content being here in NXT. I think that I believe in their timing. I believe that when the time is right, I will be called up. But, I think that I do have a little bit more work to do down here in NXT and that’s completely fine…”
Ruca has been reigning as WWE Women’s Speed Champion since April. Her latest title defense was against Alba Fyre. Her upcoming bout against Izzi Dame at Great American Bash will be her second defense of the Women’s North American Title.
