Sol Ruca has been quickly making a name for herself on the WWE main roster with her flashy, high-flying style leading to her capturing the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship just weeks into her Raw run.
During an appearance on The A2theK Wrestling Show (see video below), women’s wrestling legend Natalya (Nattie) spoke about this, comparing her to Jeff Hardy, as well as her thoughts on recently released former WWE Superstar Nikki Storm (Nikki Cross) acquiring PROGRESS Wrestling.
Featured below are some of the highlights of the interview where she touches on these topics with her thoughts. Also embedded below is a complete video archive of the discussion.
On Nikki Storm acquiring PROGRESS Wrestling: “I sent Nikki (Storm) a text right away because I was like, ‘That’s so cool that you guys bought PROGRESS. I’m so happy for you guys…’ She had a really cool career on the independents before she ever came to WWE so she has deep respect for the independents, as well as (Big) Damo. So I think that they will be two people that will be great catalysts and bringing in great talent and giving people chances and opportunities, and I think it’s great. I think it’s great and it also shows that, hey, you can wear many hats in the industry. You can be a promoter, you can be a wrestler, you can do community outreach work. There’s no limits to what we can do and it’s cool to see that Nikki, as a girl, as a female owner of a company, it’s amazing. It’s incredible.”
On Sol Ruca reminding her of Jeff Hardy: “I think, man, I would love to be an I.C. Champion, and so I would love to start a fight with Sol Ruca. I think she is so cool and I think that she is so different. She kind of reminds me of Jeff Hardy, but, like, girl version. She’s got such an it factor to her… The one thing that she’s never — the thing with her wrestling, her style — her style is so different than mine, but I think I could see us making some magic together in the ring and I would absolutely love to do a rivalry against her. She could bring her high-flying style to me and I could bring the grit from The Dungeon to her. I think I could put her through her biggest test yet, especially as champion but, she does have something I want very much.”
