Calyx Hampton (born August 26, 1999) is an American professional wrestler.[1] She is currently signed to the wrestling promotion WWE, where she performs on the NXT brand, under the ring name Sol Ruca.[2][3]

Professional wrestling career

WWE (2022–present)

Ruca was a part of a new batch of recruits signed to the WWE Performance Center in March 2022[4], and had no previous experience with professional wrestling, instead coming from an acrobatics and tumbling background.[5] She made her in-ring debut at a house show on June 24th in Jacksonville, and, a few months later, made her TV debut on the September 27th 2022 episode of NXT 2.0, facing off against Amari Miller, which ended in a victory for Ruca.[6]

On December 10, 2022, Sol gained viral fame for her innovative finisher, a Springboard Backflip Cutter, used in another match against Amari Miller on WWE NXT Level Up.[7] Sol later credited her experience in acrobatic gymnastics as the source of her inspiration for the move.[8]

Personal life

The daughter of Paul and Sandy Hampton, Calyx has one brother, Koda. She majored in Human Physiology at the University of Oregon.[9]
