10 Exact Moments When Ex-WWE Wrestlers Knew They'd Made The Right Decision

10. Ruby Soho

Why She Left WWE: Ruby was released on 2 June 2021. In truth, the company hadn't really been doing much of note with her; the Riott Squad tag-team with Liv Morgan was hastily tossed back into the mix following an original split, but it never felt like they were anything but a peripheral act.

The Moment: The renamed Soho showed WWE what they missed out on during a memorable in-ring verbal spat with AEW Women's Champ Britt Baker on the 17 September Rampage. Whilst Ruby's debut at All Out (in the 'Casino Battle Royale') had been fun, it couldn't match this thumping shoot-style altercation or the internet's response to it.

WWE never gave Ruby this kind of the freedom on the mic. Ever. In fact, she barely got the chance to talk at all, and was typically reduced to the odd scripted line here or there. Warring with Baker must've let Soho know that things would be different for her in AEW.

That had to feel damn good.
