Ruby Soho Debuts At AEW All Out, Wins Casino Battle Royale
"The Runaway" is All Elite
As many expected, Ruby Soho, the former Ruby Riott, debuted at AEW All Out on Sunday night, entering into the Women's Casino Battle Royale as the twenty-first and final "Joker" entrant.
The match eventually came down to Soho, Thunder Rosa, and Nyla Rose. Rosa managed to eliminate Rose, before beginning an extended sequence with Soho. The two eventually fought to the apron, with a number of elimination teases. After staggering Rosa, Soho knocked her off the apron with the Riott Kick to win.
With the victory, Soho earns a Women's title shot at champion Dr. Britt Baker.
AEW confirmed Soho's signing with the promotion with a different take on the usual "is All Elite" graphic.
For her entrance, Soho entered to "Ruby Soho" by Rancid.
Soho was released from WWE on June 2, just days after she teamed with Liv Morgan in a loss to Natalya and Tamina on SmackDown. She signed to WWE in December 2017, and debuted on the main roster one year later, as part of The Riott Squad with Morgan and Sarah Logan.
