Title, Outlasting Becky Lynch"},"content":{"rendered":"

Over the past half-decade or so, WWE has had many exciting stars come through its ranks. Still, Sol Ruca might have captured the imaginations of the WWE Universe<\/a> in more ways than they could have ever dreamed of. At WWE Clash in Italy, Ruca did the unthinkable against Becky Lynch, setting the Inalpi Arena<\/a> ablaze this Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Since arriving on the scene, Sol Ruca has drawn the admiration of her fans and peers. Unfortunately, not everyone was on her side, as “The Man” Becky Lynch had this unspoken disdain for Ruca. Fair enough, Lynch is very territorial and sees everyone who comes aboard the WWE main roster as someone ready to steal the spotlight. That said, Sol Ruca has proven time and again that she’s here for a reason, and she’s here to stay.<\/p>\n

At WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event (SNME) XLIV<\/a>, Lynch’s true colors would show. With Ruca closing in on the kill, Becky would purposely put Jessika Carr, the WWE official assigned to the contest, in harm’s way to cause a disqualification. It’s fair to say that Ruca had Lynch’s number and was one Sol Snatcher away from securing that victory.<\/p>\n

Lynch thought she got away after her display at SNME. However, “The Man” had more than she bargained for as SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis, the one who was overseeing SNME that night, announced that her actions would not be tolerated, booking her and Ruca for the Women’s Intercontinental Title at Clash in Italy.<\/p>\n

The night in Turin, Italy, finally came, and Sol Ruca came out of the other side as #AndNEW WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion after putting on a performance of a lifetime that not even Becky Lynch can take away from her, much like she did with her Intercontinental Title.<\/p>\n
