Sol Ruca is injured and will be on the sidelines for a while.
The WWE NXT star first signed with the company in March 2022 after attending the University of Oregon, where she competed on the school’s Acrobatics & Tumbling team. Ruca won the NCATA Individual Event National Championship while at the university.
After signing with WWE, she trained at the Performance Center in Orlando, FL. Ruca made her in-ring debut last June at an NXT live event and has since been used on television.
During Tuesday’s episode of NXT, titled Spring Breakin’, there was a video captured by the NXT anonymous Twitter account of Ruca being attacked outside of the training facility. There has been a mystery attacker going after female wrestlers near the building.
Nikkita Lyons and Wendy Choo were previously attacked, with Ruca being the latest person to be written off television through these angles.
Dave Meltzer addressed Ruca's status on Wrestling Observer Radio, noting that she has legitimately suffered a torn ACL.
“[Sol Ruca] tore her ACL. There's a lot of injuries there [NXT]. It's funny because a lot of people are blaming the strength training for the injuries, that they are doing heavy lifts as opposed to strengthening surrounding muscles to prevent injuries. When you are doing heavy stuff like that, the knees and the shoulders both can take a beating doing heavy one rep maxes or heavy, heavy weights, heavy squats, obviously, and they do that too, they have squat competitions there too. It sounds good but people have brought up to me there's a lot of injuries, especially on the women's side, there's a lot of women's injuries right now in NXT.”
