Sol Ruca Set for Saturday Night’s Main Event Match After Backstage Exchange on SmackDown

Bayley just secured her spot at Saturday Night’s Main Event, and she won’t be going in unopposed.

During a backstage segment on WWE SmackDown, Bayley walked into Nick Aldis’ office to thank him for the opportunity, only to find out she’d be facing Sol Ruca in singles competition.

The match was made official right then and there, with Sol stepping in moments later to acknowledge the challenge. Bayley acknowledged Ruca’s athletic ability but didn’t hesitate to point out the difference in experience between them. While Sol has made waves in NXT, Bayley has battled on the biggest stages in WWE—and she made it clear that main roster competition is an entirely different level.

With John Cena’s final match drawing all the headlines, Bayley vs. Sol Ruca adds to the intrigue to the show. For Bayley, it’s a chance to reassert her place at the top. For Sol, it’s the biggest opportunity of her career so far, and she knows it.

Are you excited to see Bayley take on Sol Ruca? Can Sol pull off the upset, or will Bayley remind everyone why she’s still the standard? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
