Zaria Turns Heel & Attacks Sol Ruca

Tuesday’s WWE NXT show also featured Zaria turning heel on Sol Ruca and breaking up their ZaRuca team.

ZaRuca’s breakup and Zaria’s heel turn was initially setup over recent months shows over the growing friction between Zaria and Ruca’s friendship and Zaria becoming increasingly jealous over all the opportunities and title shots Ruca had been receiving. Prior to the start of the NXT Women’s title match between Ruca and Jacy Jane, Zaria attacked Ruca laying her out in the ring. Ruca was able to get up and told the referee she was okay to continue. This led to the bell ringing and Jane laying out Ruca with a Rolling Encore for the pinfall victory to retain her title.

Following the match, Zaria grabbed Ruca out of the ring and continued her attack laying out Ruca on the announcer’s table. Zaria then gave a kiss on Ruca’s head when she was done with her rampage attack on her.
