On February 24th, WWE NXT will hold its event at Center Stage in Atlanta, Georgia, featuring a new contender for the NXT Women’s Championship. After a decisive tag team match on the February 10th episode of NXT on The CW, Sol Ruca has secured a surprising title opportunity against current champion Jacy Jayne. This development highlights the rising momentum behind Sol Ruca NXT Title Match speculation.
Sol Ruca Clinches NXT Women’s Title Opportunity in Tag Team Showdown
The match setting for the Center Stage show included a high-stakes tag team encounter where Sol Ruca and ZARIA faced Wren Sinclair and EVOLVE Women’s Champion Kendal Grey. The match carried a unique stipulation: the wrestler scoring the final pinfall or submission would be granted the chance to challenge Jacy Jayne for the NXT Women’s Title during the Atlanta event.
During the match, an unusual moment occurred when ZARIA was pushed into Sol Ruca, which the referee interpreted as a legal tag. Consequently, Sol Ruca became the active competitor. While ZARIA successfully pinned Wren Sinclair, Sol Ruca simultaneously executed her finishing move, the ‘Sol Snatcher,’ on Kendal Grey. Both women went for the cover, but since Ruca was the legal participant at that moment, she officially earned the women’s championship shot.
