Ruby Riott recently revealed she would be going by the name Ruby Soho following her WWE release. Speaking on the Wrestling Perspective podcast co-hosted by Lars Frederiksen from Rancid, she explained she isn’t a fan of her old name Heidi Lovelace. She’s admitted she initially chose the name Ruby because of the Rancid song Ruby Soho which prompted Frederiksen to suggest she use that from now, and he could arrange it for her.
With her ring name set and being used n her social media, the former WWE wrestler has now filed a trademark application for “The Runaway.” Her intention for the trademark isn’t known yet, but she filed under “Entertainment in the nature of wrestling contests; Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibits and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer.” This could possibly mean she intends for it to be her new nickname.
Ruby started wrestling on the indies in 2010 as Miss Heidi and began making a name for herself in OVW and Shine Wrestling in 2012, now going by Heidi Lovelace, where she built a cult following. She’d sign with WWE in December 2016, aged just 25, and was fast-tracked to NXT and debuted on the March 22, 2017, episode. Later that year, she would be called up to the main roster alongside Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan as the Riott Squad. With Logan having been released in 2020, this now leaves Morgan as the only member remaining with the promotion.
