Sol Ruca talks facing off against WWE pioneer at John Cena's final event

WWE NXT star Sol Ruca will go up against Bayley at Saturday Night's Main Event, sharing the same card as John Cena.

Sol Ruca will have the opportunity of a lifetime this weekend when she squares off against a WWE pioneer in Bayley at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

The match coincides with John Cena’s final match of his WWE in-ring career. Cena will go up against Gunther, who earned the right to square off against the 17-time WWE champion by winning the Last Time Is Now Tournament.

Ruca, who primarily stars on the NXT brand, told Fox News Digital in a recent interview that she was as amped as ever for the opportunity to go up against someone like Bayley.

"I’m so excited, especially being so new to the industry and going up against someone like Bayley who has been doing this so much longer than me," she said. "I’m just really excited to learn. I’m really excited to be in that type of environment. I’m really excited to just put it all out there and just have fun to be honest."

Bayley was among the women’s professional wrestlers who came up to the main roster as part of the women’s revolution. She was a fan favorite almost immediately before turning heel and eventually aligning herself with the Damage CTRL faction. Now, she’s been in the corner of Lyra Valkyria as the two try to make an impact in the tag team division.

She’s a four-time WWE women’s champion and two-time women’s tag team champion.
