5 things you should know about Ruby Riot

Ruby Riot appeared to lead a new stable of NXT call-ups into the SmackDown Live after Survivor Series. Alongside Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan, Riot destroyed the SmackDown Women's title match after jumping Naomi and Becky Lynch in the hallway.

She's tough, unique, and young. Let's explore a few more things you should probably know about Ruby Riot.

---

#1 She's held a lot of gold

She's already accomplished a lot

Although Ruby Riot never made it to the top of NXT, she certainly found a way to capturing plenty of titles practically everywhere else she's gone. Through her seven-year career so far (3 years more than Alexa Bliss), Riot has picked up championships in All American Wrestling, Revolution Championship Wrestling, Ohio Valley Wrestling, and SHIMMER Women Athletics.

Ruby Riot was in NXT during Asuka's unbeatable reign so nobody should really hold it against her that she never had a run with the NXT Women's Title because The Empress Of Tomorrow wasn't letting go of that title and it took a main roster call-up to get it off of her.

It might only be a matter of time before Ruby Riot uses her position as the leader of this new stable to capture gold on SmackDown LIve soon enough.

#2 She knows how to work a microphone

Who knows what she'll say next?

Ruby Riot has plenty of experience on the microphone and has been known for her comfortability and cutting wit at the same time. It's not a big surprise to see her leading a stable of upstarts and she makes a pretty good leader in the process.

As you can see below, Riot has the unique ability to get real on the microphone while still maintaining her personality. As Riot said goodbye to Alpha 1 Wrestling she was humble and appreciative of her time with the indy fed. It meant a lot to her as she looked forward to her future.

Whether it is in front of a room of a dozen or ten thousand people, Riot can hold a crowd in the palm of her hand. It's going to be very interesting to watch her work in this new heel persona as she runs roughshod over the SmackDown Live roster alongside Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan.

#3 Punk rock influence

She's only just starting to Riot

It might be obvious by looking at Ruby Riot, but she loves and embodies the punk rock lifestyle. From her tattoos to her music of choice she demonstrates that classic punk aura.

There's a reason why they call her the Punk Rock Ragdoll. She embodies punk rock and looks great selling in the ring. But she looks home when she's dominating as well.

Her mindset and moveset both illustrate the need to rebel against authority and buck the common norm. After all, on the first night on SmackDown with her new stable they interrupted a SmackDown Women's Championship match.

It will be hard to top her debut on SmackDown but Ruby Riot is certainly willing to try.

#4 You might know her by another name

She's had plenty of monikers already

It's quite common for a pro wrestler to go through a couple of names as they find their way to a proper moniker they can really sink their teeth into.

But Ruby Riot has been known by six different names since her pro wrestling debut 2010. That's just over one and a half name changes per year which is quite an identity crisis.

Since her debut on the indy wrestling scene, she has been known as Sally Stitches, Miss Heidi, Heidi the Riveter, Heidi Lovelace, Dori Prange, and now Ruby Riot.

Of course, her most famous name on the indy wrestling scene so far was Heidi Lovelace but she's aiming to make Ruby Riot one you'll never forget as well.

#5 She is very tough

Ruby Riot won't let a little blood stop her

Someone covered in tattoos usually presents the appearance that they're capable of taking some extreme damage and Ruby Riot certainly lives up to that mystique.

When Riot took on Asuka at the Download Festival in June 2017, she never expected to get busted open by The Empress Of Tomorrow. But that's exactly what happened.

If WWE's medical staff hadn't intervened, something like a laceration requiring 5 stitches wouldn't have stopped Ruby Riot from performing in Leicestershire’s Donington Park. After all, she was going for Asuka's NXT Women's Championship at the time.

NXT used this injury in the storyline that built to Asuka retaining her title. Thankfully, Riot hasn't experienced a serious injury in her career so far. But it would take a lot to force someone like the Punk Rock Ragdoll to take a break from in-ring competition for any reason.
