Sol Ruca will seemingly be sidelined from in-ring competition for the time being, and that will result in a change to WWE NXT Halloween Havoc.
Friday night on SmackDown, Sol Ruca and Zaria competed against Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles. During the match, Ruca appeared to injure her knee and eventually tapped out to Flair’s Figure 8 submission move.
Tonight on WWE NXT, Sol Ruca appeared in the ring with a knee brace alongside Zaria and General Manager Ava to announce her injury and her inability to compete this weekend at Halloween Havoc against Blake Monroe.
Unlike previous injuries, Ava didn’t seem overly eager to strip Ruca of her titles, but the double champion believes that she can’t hold a division back when she doesn’t know when she’ll be cleared.
This brought out the number one contender, Blake Monroe. Who said she should be handed the title since she was set to compete for it this weekend. This led to Zaria pitching an idea to Ava that she could defend the title for Ruca. Monroe wanted nothing to do with this, but Ava approved it, and Ruca agreed.
We’ve seen plenty of real injuries in WWE over the years. However, this came across way more like a storyline than an actual injury. It seems we’ll find out sooner rather than later is Ruca’s knee injury is legitimate or not.
Stay tuned to WrestleZone for more information as it becomes available.
