Kofi Kingston has high praise for Sol Ruca.
Ever since making her professional wrestling debut back in June 2022, Sol Ruca has been making waves in NXT. Ruca is mainly known for brining jaw-dropping athleticism to the squared circle, a feat that many young wrestlers are unable to achieve.
In a recent interview with the Out Of Character podcast, Kofi Kingston had quite a few encouraging things to say about Ruca, noting that she is part of the reason that the future is bright for WWE.
“Oh my god, she’s a super athlete. Some of the videos she posts on social media, like her doing pistol squats on a balance bar… If I tried to do a pistol squat right now, my knee would laugh at me, explode, and disappear. I can’t do that. It’ll be like Avengers, you know I’m saying, where Thanos snapped his fingers. I’m out of here man, I can’t do that. She surfs too, right? Just a super athlete man. Even her finishing move where she does the inverted up and over into the cutter… what the? How? How dude? How do you even have the guts to try that in front of a live crowd and nail it every single time. Like I said man, the future is bright for WWE because these guys and girls in NXT are amazing. The raw athleticism is great and it’s only gonna get better with experience in the ring and matches and promos and all of that stuff, so when it’s all said and done, Sola, among others, everyone’s gonna be just awesome. It’s gonna be such a great product to watch.”
Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods are set to defend their NXT Tag Team Championships against Pretty Deadly, Gallus, and the duo of Andre Chase & Duke Hudson at the upcoming Vengeance Day premium live event. To see the updated card for that event, click here.
