Summary

Sol Ruca has already started thinking about the opponents she wants to face now that she has stepped onto WWE's main roster stage.

After showing up on the April 20 episode of Raw to confront Liv Morgan following Morgan's Women's World Title win at WrestleMania 42, Ruca was asked about her dream matches on the main roster during a Raw recap appearance. Her first answer was IYO SKY, but when the question opened up to anyone, she went in a very different direction.

Quote from Sol Ruca

"So, my dream match is IYO SKY. But for this scenario, if it can be anyone, it'd probably be Randy Orton. The RKO, the Sol Snatcher, we're gonna see whose is better. Maybe throw Je'Von in there too."

Why Randy Orton stands out for Sol Ruca

Ruca's answer makes sense for anyone who has watched how quickly the Sol Snatcher has become part of her identity. Putting that move next to the RKO gives fans an easy hook, because both finishers rely on speed, timing and catching an opponent in a split second.

That is also why Randy Orton feels like more than a random name drop. Ruca framed the matchup around the moves themselves, not just star power. Orton has been in the spotlight recently for several WrestleMania-week stories, including a report on a scrapped creative pitch involving Aleister Black, so his name is still firmly in the middle of WWE conversation.

What this could mean for Sol Ruca on Raw

Mentioning IYO SKY and Randy Orton in the same answer says a lot about how Ruca sees her ceiling. IYO SKY points to the top of the women's division, while Orton points to the kind of crossover dream match fans talk about because of style and charisma.

After her post-WrestleMania 42 appearance opposite Liv Morgan, Ruca is also in a position where WWE can learn quickly how audiences respond to her against established stars. Even if none of these matches happen soon, the names she chose underline that she is being presented as more than a one-night surprise.
