Discover Sol Rucadouble champion of WWEand how he handles injuries, extreme fighting and the creation of his own team. A look at his routine, challenges and passion for professional struggle through his statements in a recent interview with Ten Count Media with Steve Fall and Sean Mooney.
► In the words of Sol Ruca
You are currently the American champion, but there was also confusion with the Speed championship. What is your current situation?
«I definitely remain double champion. I am the Speed champion and the American champion. There is a bit of confusion about what is happening, but until they tell me that I am no longer double champion, I am still being.Do you know what will happen to the Speed championship in the future?
“I'm not sure. Maybe we'll start using it on NXT. Before I could not because it was a “separate universe”, but I think there is a little margin now. For now, I'm still a double champion and I don't complain ».
You are the only person in the last 20 years to fight three times in a row in SmackDown, Great American Bash and Evolution. How did you handle so much effort?
«It was a lot. The previous Tuesday, technically Wednesday, had a fight for the Speed title against Alba, so I had four fights in less than five days. I didn't know that I was going to be on SmackDown until the previous night. We had to drive 4 hours for the Great American Bash, pick up my team, sleep almost nothing … was exhausting. But once I entered the ring, everything was fine. Evolution was more fun and less stressful ».
You make your own fighting team, how was that?
«Yes, it is complicated. There are few team manufacturers and with Pay-Per-Views everything is last minute. I had no sewing experience before arriving here. My first attempt was the night before a fight and it was a disaster, but I managed to work ».How do you feel in the NXT Heatwave poster without having a confirmed combat?
«I am prepared for what happens. I'm even doing my own team for Heatwave. I burned part of the fabric and I have to start again, but I want to be ready if I have a fight or not«.
Lowell’s been home to a lot of great wrestling over the years… gonna add another one to the list.#WWEHeatwave rolls in Sunday, August 24. Hope you’re ready.

You made your debut in WrestleMania as the Cinnamon Toast Crunch pet. How was the experience?
«It was fun. They chose me because I met the height requirements, being a woman and being in the city. The suit was restrictive, I had to walk sideways, and people hit the costume to move. It was funny later to see him in networks ».
Your finisher, the Soul Snatcher, seems impossible. How did you develop it?
«I wanted a unique movement for me. I was inspired by a bar movement called Straddle Back. It is similar but now he caught a person instead of a bar. Visually it seems difficult, but for me it is simple ».You were out nine months for an injury. How was it mentally returning?
«At first I was worried. I wondered if I could do what I was doing before. But I worked with the medical team, I mentally forced myself to trust my knee and not be afraid. It was a long process, but I returned without problems«.Is there anyone with whom you would like to fight soon?
«My first choice would be Kelanialthough it is very good, so not. Fantasy would be Io Sky; I would also like a triple Threat with her and Rhea Ripley. I am willing to defend my titles against anyone ».
If you could fight someone from the past on WWE, who would it be?
«Michelle McCool«.Something out of the fight that you are passionate and nobody knows.
SOL RUCA: «Art«.What kind of movie would you make?
«Terrorbut I also believe that action for how I see myself and what I do ».«Cats the perros?
SOL RUCA: «Gatos100%».Should Evolution be an annual event?
«Yes, although it is not essential that it is all femininebut I am, I would love it ».
