WWE legend Booker T has shared his thoughts on Sol Ruca’s progress on the important roster since being called up from “WWE NXT.”
Ruca has had a fast rise on “WWE Raw” since debuting in April, and at Clash in Italy, she won the Women’s Intercontinental Championship from Becky Lynch. The young star got here under some criticism recently after what appeared like a botch in her match. Booker T said on his “Hall of Fame” podcast that such mistakes are part and parcel of skilled wrestling.
“But I give Sol Ruca a variety of credit for having the ability to make those mistakes. Because normally whenever you make that mistake one time, you are trying to work out how to not make that mistake again. And that is something that she hasn’t had an entire lot of probabilities to do in NXT because man, she’s been flawless. She’s been going on the market and running the play, and she or he’s been running that play, you understand, properly,” he said.
Booker T said that every one wrestlers make mistakes on television, including himself, but that the hot button is to maintain improving each time you step into the ring. The 2-time Hall of Famer is pleased with Ruca’s progress on the important roster and believes she couldn’t have a greater opponent than Becky Lynch.
“Sol Ruca is working with Becky Lynch. And I feel working with Becky, she’s going to be in the very best place she possibly can to have the opportunity to call that audible and have the opportunity to go on the market and succeed at the identical time. So I’m having fun with where Sol Ruca’s profession goes. I feel it has been a meteoric rise. I feel it has been very, very quick for her and if Sol is listening — similar to I tell all of them in the event that they’re listening — keep your head on a swivel.”
Ruca understands the importance of a win over a legend like Lynch, stating that such a victory may very well be a defining moment in her profession.
