On the February 10 episode of WWE NXT, Sol Ruca earned her position as the number one contender for the NXT Women’s Title by winning a high-stakes tag-team match. Held inside NXT’s ring, the contest featured Ruca and her partner ZaRuca facing off against Wren Sinclair and Kendal Grey, with the winner guaranteed a future championship opportunity against reigning champion Jacy Jayne. With the victory secured, Ruca is set to challenge Jayne in the coming weeks, marking a significant step in her career.
Emotional Turmoil Emerges Behind Ruca’s Victory
Despite the win, Ruca expressed mixed emotions about her ascent. After the match, she revealed feelings of conflict linked to ongoing tensions between herself and Zaria, a teammate who appears upset by Ruca’s continued successes. Ruca described her mindset as uncertain, torn between satisfaction for achieving her objective and concern over the personal strain the victory has caused.
“Being the No. 1 contender for the NXT Women’s Championship right now. I’m honestly a bit conflicted. I mean, on one hand, I told Jacy Jayne I’m coming for the title this year, and I’m doing just that, but on the other hand, Zaria is upset at me, maybe because I keep getting these opportunities, and I’m just in a really conflicting headspace right now.”

I don’t know whether I should be happy or concerned, or what, but I just keep moving forward and see Jacy Jayne in a few weeks.
