Ruca won her first title in the Stamford-based promotion on April 11. She defeated Candice LeRae at WWE Speed taping ahead of Friday Night SmackDown to become the WWE Women's Speed Champion. However, the match was aired exclusively on X/Twitter the following week.

Sol Ruca has now gone past a hundred days as the WWE Women's Speed Champion. During her reign, she has defended the title twice, against American Made's Ivy Nile in May and against The Secret Hervice's Alba Fyre earlier this month.

Mere days after winning her first title in the wrestling promotion, Ruca became a double champion at WWE Stand & Deliver 2025. She won a Six-Woman Ladder match to win the vacated NXT Women's North American Championship.

Coincidentally, she has also defended the NXT Women's North American Title twice, and the two matches took place in May and July.
