WWE Referee & NXT Star Leon Ruff Confirm Relationship
Last night was a special one Aja Smith and Leon Ruff.
WWE Referee Aja Smith has revealed on Twitter that she is currently dating NXT performer Leon Ruff, after calling a match of his on last night's episode of NXT.
Ruff appeared on the black and yellow brand as Karrion Kross' debut opponent and was subsequently pulverised by NXT's new star - who was accompanied to the ring by Scarlett.
After the match, Smith wrote on Twitter:
Ruff then responded to the tweet:
Smith signed a WWE contract earlier this year and in doing so she became the company's first full-time African American female referee.
Ruff on the other hand has recently appeared on both Raw and NXT on multiple occasions during the current global situation.
Smith unfortunately wasn't able to bring her man much luck in his encounter with the terrifying Kross, but hopefully the next time she officiates one of his matches she can raise his hand come the end of the clash.
This week's NXT also saw Adam Cole and Charlotte Flair leave with their NXT and NXT Women's Championship reigns intact, respectively, and Johnny Gargano was able to get the better of Dominik Dijakovic in their high-paced show opener.
