Sol Ruca, the current female Speed Champion in WWE, is marking her 26th birthday on August 26th amidst ongoing uncertainty about her future in the company. Known for her dynamic moveset, she has rapidly gained popularity within WWE NXT and remains a key figure to watch as the division evolves.
Over recent years, Ruca has risen through WWE NXT‘s ranks, impressing fans and officials alike with her energetic style and one of the company’s most effective finishing moves. Although her permanent promotion to the main roster is yet to be confirmed, several appearances there suggest she could soon become a leading figure in women’s wrestling.
Speed Championship Titles Shift Focus to WWE NXT
Following the apparent cancellation of WWE’s Speed show, both Sol Ruca and El Grande Americano, the current male Speed Champion, face uncertainty about defending their titles. With the show no longer airing, speculation about the Speed Championships’ future has been widespread.
WWE has since clarified that these titles will be integrated into the WWE NXT brand. Ava, the General Manager of NXT, has announced that defenses for the Speed Championships will now take place within NXT rather than through social media or other platforms, opening possibilities for cross-brand appearances.
El Grande Americano remains on the RAW roster but has not competed in weeks. In order to defend his title under the new arrangement, it is expected he will need to compete within NXT, potentially leading to title changes and new rivalries in the near future.
Ruca’s Role in WWE’s Women’s Division Amid Shifts
Sol Ruca’s continued recognition as the Women’s Speed Champion amid these structural changes highlights her importance to WWE’s women’s division. Her growing fanbase, alongside her innovative in-ring capabilities, positions her as a vital part of WWE’s ongoing talent development strategy.
With the Speed Championships now linked to NXT events, Ruca’s future bouts could attract greater visibility and possibly signal her eventual promotion to a full-time main roster position. This shift represents a strategic realignment by WWE, aiming to strengthen the NXT brand while fostering fresh talent across its divisions.
