Sol Ruca Feels “Honored” To Be A Part Of John Cena’s Final Show

Ahead of her Saturday Night Main Event match against Bayley, Ruca had an interview with Fox News. She revealed how honored she felt to be a part of John Cena’s final show.

“I’m honored and I’m really proud of myself for this past year and just putting myself out there even just to be in this world of professional wrestling. I am a pretty reserved and shy person. So, I feel like I’ve pushed myself a lot this past year and I’m really proud of myself to be in this position and really honored to be a part of it.

Like, yeah, I’m going to be a part of making history and I feel like this past year has had that common thread, you know, being a double champion and being a speed champion and North American champion and then going for the tag titles with my tag partner and then now being on John Cena’s last show and also him picking me to be a part of Deadline. It’s been a really cool year for me.”

The SNME show also saw World Tag Team Champions AJ Styles & Dragon Lee beat Je’Von Evans & Leon Slater in high-flying tag team action.
