Sol Ruca says that she’s looking to diversify her skillset, adding grappling and even power moves to her repertoire. Ruca has achieved success already on the main roster with her high-flying offense, winning the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Title at WWE Clash in Italy from Becky Lynch. Ruca’s Sol Snatcher has become a favorite finisher of fans in the process.
Ruca spoke with TMZ Inside the Ring and was asked if there are areas she’s looking at improving in the ring. She noted that she wants to expand her skillset to include submissions and even some powerhouse-style moves. You can see highlights below:
On Ares That She’s Looking To Improve On:
“I am someone who likes to — I guess like adapt and evolve, especially within my skill set. Not only just trying to do the Sol Snatcher a bunch of different ways. Like, I want to be a very well-rounded professional wrestler. I want to get better at grappling, I want to get better at doing submissions and stuff like that. And I’m not necessarily — not that I’m not good at it, but it’s just not within my background, I haven’t been doing it for as long. So, I definitely want to adapt in that way.”
On Expanding Her Skillset:
“And even just adding more of the powerhouse kind of style because I am a lot bigger than some of the girls. I mean, I think I might be the biggest high flyer in the women’s division.
“But I definitely want to adapt and get better at that kind of stuff. I did take on some jiu-jitsu for a little bit, and I would love to go back to doing that now that I’m on the main roster and have a little bit more free time here and there. So, I would love to incorporate that kind of stuff into my skill set as well.”
