The rivalry between Sol Ruca and Zaria heated up again on the April 7, 2026, episode of WWE NXT. Just days after their big match at NXT Stand & Deliver 2026, things got messy again, and this time, it cost Ruca an important match.
Sol Ruca and Zaria were once a strong tag team called ZaRuca, but things slowly fell apart. From Zaria throwing in the towel during Ruca’s title match last year to attacking her earlier this year, their relationship has completely broken down.
At Stand & Deliver, Ruca seemed to settle things with a win. But Zaria’s actions on this week’s NXT prove that she is not done yet.
Zaria interferes in Sol Ruca’s match after NXT Stand & Deliver
This week on NXT, Ruca faced Izzi Dame in quite a physical match. It started with a basic lock-up, with Dame taking control early and slamming Ruca to the mat. But Ruca quickly fought back with her athletic moves, hitting a kick, a snapmare, and a standing moonsault for a near fall.
The match kept going back and forth. Sol Ruca tried to use her high-flying style. But Dame used her strength to stay in control. She slowed Ruca down with strikes in the corner and strong shoulder tackles.
As the match went on, Ruca hit an X-Factor, followed by a dropkick and a springboard tornillo to the outside. Ruca then hit Dame with a lariat. After a suplex and dropkick, it looked like Ruca might clinch the win. But Dame fought back and nearly got the pin.
The match changed suddenly when Ruca speared Dame on the ringside. Just when it looked like Ruca had control, Zaria came out of nowhere and hit her former friend with a big spear on the floor. Ruca was down and Dame took advantage. She brought Ruca back into the ring and finished the match with a Liger Bomb to win.
After the match, Zaria came into the ring and yelled at Ruca.
The rivalry is far from over.
