Zaria Reflects on One-Year Anniversary of WWE Debut, Her Bond With Sol Ruca

At last night’s WWE NXT TV, former NXT Women’s North American Champion Sol Ruca announced her injury. At NXT Halloween Havoc, it will now be Zaria against Blake Monroe, with Zaria defending Sol Ruca’s title on her tag team partner’s behalf. In a post on her social media, Zaria reflected on today being the one-year anniversary of her WWE debut (see below).

Zaria wrote of her WWE debut one year ago, “1 Year ago today I debuted in WWE. It’s gone by so quickly that it all feels like a dream.” She continued, “I’ve accomplished more than I thought I would in just a year. Iron Survivor, ladder match at Stand and Deliver, tag championship match at Evolution, debuting on SmackDown, and now I get to have my first singles championship match at Halloween Havoc.”

She expressed how she still views the singles partner as belonging to her tag team partner, Sol Ruca. The wrestler added, “A championship that belongs to my partner. Someone that has played such a big role in my growth this past year. The friendship that was so unexpected, yet the bond is unbreakable.”

Zaria noted how much this moment means to her. She went on, “Stepping into a WWE ring for the first time at Halloween Havoc was such a definitive moment for me, and now defending the NA Championship for Sol is a definitive moment for ZaRuca. This moment means everything to me. I won’t let you down ❤️💙”
