WWE NXT Superstar Sol Ruca has reached an impressive milestone by holding two championship titles simultaneously. The 25-year-old captured her first championship on April 11, when she defeated Candice LeRae at a WWE Speed taping ahead of Friday Night SmackDown, securing the WWE Women’s Speed Championship. This match was exclusively aired on X/Twitter a week later.
Now surpassing 100 days as WWE Women’s Speed Champion, Sol Ruca has successfully defended this title twice, first against Ivy Nile of American Made in May and then against Alba Fyre from The Secret Hervice earlier in the summer. Shortly after winning her initial championship, she claimed a second title during WWE Stand & Deliver 2025 by prevailing in a Six-Woman Ladder match for the vacant NXT Women’s North American Championship.
Ruca has also defended the NXT Women’s North American Championship on two occasions, with title defenses occurring in May and July, solidifying her status as one of the promotion’s rising stars.
