Shockwaves in WWE NXT as Long-Absent Superstar Returns at Roadblock

There are a few members of the WWE roster who are out of action with injuries. This week, a promising young talent made her long-awaited return to NXT.

WWE’s NXT brand presented their Roadblock event this week, and that included a surprising return. Sol Ruca is back on the active roster after a very long injury hiatus. She did so by costing Blair Davenport a win, the same woman who was responsible (in storyline) for her injury.

Sol Ruca’s Return

This week’s NXT featured Fallon Henley taking on Blair Davenport. That match saw Ruca make her return during the closing moments, where she nailed Blair to help Henley pick up the win.

Several months ago, Blair Davenport revealed herself to be the mystery attacker who was taking out so many members of the women’s division, including Sol Ruca. Now, Ruca is back, and she’s taking her vengeance out on the woman responsible for taking her out of action.

It was reported on Fightful Select today that Sol Ruca’s return was expected for Roadblock. Her return has been in the pipeline for a while, as she’s been recovering for over 10 months at this point.

Sol Ruca’s Injury

In May 2023, Sol Ruca suffered an ACL injury, sidelining her from action. She was incorporated into a storyline leading to Blair Davenport’s NXT debut, portrayed as the masked attacker who incapacitated Ruca. Surgery was required to address the ACL injury, and since then, Ruca has been focused on her recovery and eventual return to the ring.

SEScoops will have continued coverage of NXT, and everything else going on in the pro wrestling world, so keep checking back for more updates!
