Someone desperately needs to get to Sol Ruca and work on her promo delivery if she’s going to continue to portray a babyface.

Ruca conducted an in-ring interview on Raw, during which she cut a promo that in parts gave strong “Liv Morgan vibes” – yelling “aaaallllllllll” at one point and speaking in that same wooden, grating voice that Liv uses to great effect to annoy fans.

The difference is that Sol was trying to tell the crowd how proud she was to hold the Women’s Intercontinental Championship and intended to be a fighting champion. Instead, she sounded like someone who either had the “good/evil” switch flipped to “evil” or just hasn’t figured out how to cut a babyface-style promo.

The message was fine. The delivery was terrible.
