10 Wrestlers Whose Stock Has Risen The Most Since WWE WrestleMania 37

Some with rising stock aren't even in WWE anymore.

Look, Ruby Soho's AEW run hasn't been flawless. She's sort of lost in amongst the glut of names striving to topple Britt Baker, and she's definitely even behind emerging stars like Jade Cargill in Tony Khan's plans. All of that is true, but...the former Riott Squad head is way happier in All Elite than she was in WWE at this time last year.

Ruby teamed with Liv Morgan as part of the aforementioned turmoil whirlwind, but nobody really remembers that Natalya and Tamina beat them to bag a shot at the Women's Tag belts. Nope, the Riotts were very much background padding for a couple of vets.

Happiness is important. In AEW, Ruby looks free and is able to flex her creative muscles with a bit more confidence than before. Being brutally honest, she was going nowhere fast in WWE. The push she wanted, and some fans thought she'd earned, was never coming.
