Ruby Soho debuts at AEW All Out, wins women’s Casino Battle Royale
The former Ruby Riott is now #AllElite as Ruby Soho debuted at AEW All Out Sunday in the women’s Casino Battle Royale, winning the match to earn a future shot at Women’s Champion Britt Baker.
As had been rumored, Soho was the final entrant (the joker) into the match, entering to Rancid’s “Ruby Soho” to a loud ovation with a wide smile on her face.
Soho, Thunder Rosa and Nyla Rose were the final three women in the match. Rosa eliminated Rose and she and Soho battled for several minutes, eventually spilling to the ring apron.
Soho looked for a belly-to-back suplex but couldn’t get it while Rosa looked for a death valley driver and also couldn’t hit it. The end came when Soho hit a jumping head kick that staggered Rosa until she fell off the apron to the floor.
After five years in their system, Soho was released by WWE in June and recently began sharing videos teasing her comeback.
