Ruby Soho Reflects On Creating Interesting Conversation About Women Of Wrestling
She was an extremely talented wrestler. It was a treat to see her on the roster of WWE. When she made her main roster debut WWE formed is stable with her featuring two more wrestlers, Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan naming the stable Riott Squad. It seemed like when a stable is getting named after her, definitely WWE was planning a big push for her.
But the much awaited push for Ruby never arrived. Instead she kept on jobbing throughout her WWE career. She lost almost all of her main roster matches since last couple of years. She did get some title opportunities every now and then but all of them were losing efforts.
She made her NXT debut at the AEW All Out pay per view event where she won the Casino Battle Royal. She is being portrayed as a main event star in the AEW and currently she is involved in the new AEW TBS Championship tournament.
Ruby Riott who is currently working in the All Elite Wrestling under her new ring name Ruby Soho recently spoke to the Grapsody podcast where she talked about how her Bloody Street Fight match created a conversation about women in the business. She said;
“Because at the end of the day, all we want as women wrestlers is to be treated equally, to be treated the same. So I think that it was a very important conversation to be had because there was arguments on both sides and, to me, I feel like it’s straying away from the one thing that we are trying to get away from is that the reason there is women’s wrestling is to give you something to look at.
“When in reality, obviously, if I’m covered in blood, I’m probably less attractive to most people. If that’s your problem, then sorry to tell you, I’m just gonna keep getting more unattractive. Because my lipstick’s all over my face all the time, my hair looks like I got electrocuted constantly when I’m wrestling. That’s not what I’m out there to be attractive to you. So if that is what you’re watching me for, then stop watching me.”
