Before she found a new welcoming home in AEW, Ruby Soho made her name in WWE. Though there was a time when she thought she would never make it to the company because of her appearance.
The former WWE star recently had an interview with Digital Spy. She talked about things such as her expectations for All Out, her theme song, and more.
Discussing her time in WWE, Soho mentioned how she initially didn’t think she would be hired by the promotion because they didn’t hire people that looked like her:
“I never thought that I was going to make it to WWE, at the time that I had started [wrestling], they weren’t hiring women that looked like me. but then, right, place, right time, they started hiring people that looked different.”
Though even after being signed by WWE, Ruby Soho couldn’t find a place for herself there. On the other hand, she felt like she was at home immediately in AEW:
“But I still felt like I couldn’t quite find my place and didn’t quite fit in and then coming to AEW, it was instant. It was immediate, I felt like I was home.”
Ruby Soho made her surprise AEW debut at All Out. She is set to challenge Britt Baker for the women’s championship at next week’s Dynamite: Grand Slam special.
