| 4 | Dori Elizabeth Prange[[note]]/preɪn/ prayn[[/note]] (born January 9, 1991 in Edwardsburg, Michigan) is an American [[ProfessionalWrestling professional wrestler]] currently signed to Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling, where she performs under the name Ruby Soho[[note]][[ShoutOut lifted]] with permission from the Music/{{Rancid}} song of the same name, which she uses as her entrance music[[/note]].

| 5 | |
| 6 | She was trained by Billy Roc and began her career on Wrestling/JuggaloChampionshipWrestling as Heidi Lovelace in 2011. She later worked for a variety of Midwestern promotions, including Wrestling/{{SHIMMER}}, Wrestling/JuggaloChampionshipWrestling, IWA Mid-South Wrestling, Absolute Intense Wrestling, Ohio Valley Wrestling (after this promotion became [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA]]'s developmental system), and Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}}, where she was never defeated for the CHIKARA Young Lions Cup. She is also a former [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/il/aaw/aaw-her.html AAW Heritage Champion]], [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/ky/ovw/ovw-wm.html OVW Women's Champion]], [[https://www.cagematch.net//?id=5&nr=1135 AIW Women's Champion]], the Ring of Champions La Copa Idolo Champion, [[https://www.cagematch.net//?id=5&nr=1522 A-1 Alpha Male Champion]] AND a former [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/il/shimmer/shimmer-t.html SHIMMER Tag Team Champion]] with Evie (Dakota Kai) as Team Slap Happy. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | She signed a deal with WWE at the end of 2016, debuting under the name Ruby Riot, and performed in the [[Wrestling/{{WWENXT}} NXT]] brand until the November 28, 2017 episode of ''[[Wrestling/WWESmackDown SmackDown]]'' (the fallout of ''Wrestling/SurvivorSeries 2017'') where she was renamed Ruby [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Riott]][[note]]the extra T was added to the end to avoid copyright issues[[/note]] and debuted in the blue brand as the leader of Wrestling/TheRiottSquad with Wrestling/LivMorgan and Sarah Logan (formerly Crazy Mary Dobson). |

| 16 | [[folder:In general]] |
| 17 | * ACupAngst: |
| 18 | ** Discussed. After winning the AIW Women's Championship at ''AIW Faith No More'', she cut [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaBjLxWu3mg this promo]], where she claimed that other wrestling promoters thought she didn't "look the part" and how she "didn't have the assets" that would make her someone they would want to put over. |
| 19 | ** Along similar lines, in re the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/nxt/wwe-nxt-wm.html WWE NXT Women's Champion]] [[Wrestling/KanakoUrai Asuka]] vs. Nikki Cross vs. Ruby Riot match from ''NXT [=TakeOver=]'' on May 20, 2017, CHIKARA manager Sidney Bakabella [[https://twitter.com/SBakabella/status/866095369133969408 wrote]] on his Twitter, "that little boy from CHIKARA is fighting for the girls title." |
| 20 | * ActionGirl: Absolutely. She has had success against both women AND men. |
| 21 | * AscendedExtra: In one promo, she said that her first big indie show was in AIW as a replacement and how at the time she was "some no-name broad." |
| 22 | * IHaveManyNames: Heidi Lovelace, Miss Heidi, Heidi the Riveter (see WrestlingDoesntPay below), Heidi Douglas (one match in OVW), Ruby Riot, Ruby Riott, Ruby Soho. |
| 23 | * KindheartedCatLover: Certainly based on [[https://www.instagram.com/p/pFFAYtv03d/ these]] [[https://www.instagram.com/p/pEwSvwv000/ pictures]]. She named one of her cats "Rana." |
| 24 | * MurderousThighs: The Heidi-Can-Rana not a huracanrana, as it ends with the opponent's neck driven into the mat rather than a pin fall (a Frankensteiner). |
| 25 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: 5'4 and 122 lbs., and she was able to give the 6'6", 251 lbs. Joe Pittman a crucifix powerbomb. |
| 26 | * UseYourHead: Occasionally delivers headbutts to her opponents. |
| 27 | * WalkingSwimsuitScene: [[https://www.instagram.com/p/oynBSvP04h/ This post]] of her lying on a beach in a bikini with the Misfits' logo. |

| 30 | [[folder:As Heidi Lovelace and other pre-WWE personas]] |
| 31 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: |
| 32 | ** At ''CHIKARA Sword of Destiny'', June 13, 2015, she [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RA557EWMfA teamed]] with Icarus against Kevin Condron and "Juke Joint" Lucas Calhoun. Calhoun pressed her above his head and dropped her into a swing dancing position. Heidi did NOT like it at all. |
| 33 | ** Oh gosh, Arik Cannon absolutely qualifies for this. See KissOfDistraction below. In Heidi's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0ZUKU1lgSw final]] CHIKARA promo, before her match with Cannon at ''CHIKARA White Rabbit'', she even speculates that Cannon might have a "secret crush" and that it might have been the reason why he held back during their matches. |
| 34 | * TheAce:= She's been described as the best graduate from Billy Roc's School of Roc. If you heard any dispute of that claim, it wasn't in Chikara. |
| 35 | * AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Possibly. During her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R43cg9IKOas match]] with AIW Women's Champion [[Wrestling/EmberMoon Athena]] at ''AIW All In'', July 26, 2014, the announcer mentioned her "crush on BJ Whitmer," who defeated her that same night at ''AIW Battle of the Sexes''. |
| 36 | * AlliterativeName: As '''S'''ally '''S''''titches in Freelance Wrestling, which was also a CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown gimmick. |
| 37 | * AnythingYouCanDoICanDoBetter: |
| 38 | ** Her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRXzk4PFtNk match]] with Randi West at Pro Wrestling All-Stars of Detroit's ''PWASD Christmas Classic'', December 12, 2014, started out like this. Randi got a 2-count off an inside cradle right at the beginning, and Heidi then did the same. They did a sequence of trading forearms. Then a sequence of Heidi nailing Randi in the corner and running to the other corner and Randi doing the same. |
| 39 | ** Mentioned by name by the announcers during her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9O-dBC3Nsy8 match]] with Wrestling/KimberLee at ''[=F1RST=] Wrestling Wrestlepalooza VIII''. |
| 40 | * BadassInDistress: Wrestling/TommyDreamer came to her aid to fight off an attack by Wrestling/VedaScott and Ariya Daivari after Heidi's match with Veda at ''[=F1RST=] Wrestling Mill City Fights'' on September 10, 2016. |
| 41 | * BadlyBatteredBabySitter: She became as much Wrestling/SoloDarling's babysitter as tag team partner as The Buddy System went on, having the thankless task of regulating Solo's sugar intake. It wasn't played for laughs when Better Than You broke Lovelace's leg [[ForcedToWatch just to torment Darling.]] |
| 42 | * BeautyIsNeverTarnished: She did a photoshoot for [=911Wrestling=] where she was in a tire yard and had black makeup smeared under her eyes. However, she still looked good. |
| 43 | * BerserkButton: She [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFtLNLBhqW8 faced]][[Wrestling/ChristinaVonEerie "The Punk Princess" Christina Von Eerie]] in the semi-final of the Woman's Tournament at ''QPW Trouble With Angels'' on September 13, 2014. Christina questioned Heidi calling herself "The Punk-Rock Ragdoll" and called her a [[PretenderDiss poseur]]. The fans picked up on it and Heidi said, [[SeriousBusiness "That is the worst thing that you can say to anyone"]], leading to Heidi FlippingTheBird to Christina. |
| 44 | * TheBerserker: During the Dasher's Dugout-The Gentlemen's Club match at ''CHIKARA Storming the Castle'', she whipped Chuck Taylor to the corner, chopped Orange Cassidy and forearmed Taylor in the corner. Cassidy charged at her and Heidi sent him into Taylor, causing them to kiss. |
| 45 | * BloodKnight: Here are the opening lines of her [[https://soundcloud.com/yellrah/lovelace-theme rejected CHIKARA theme song]]: |
| 46 | -->Tonight we're gonna fight fight hey hey\ |
| 47 | Tonight it's time to brawl |
| 48 | * BoyishShortHair: Played with. She definitely had it when she won the AAW Heritage Title and the CHIKARA Young Lions Cup. However, she had shoulder-length hair for her non-title match with then-[[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/pa/e/chikara/chikara-g.html CHIKARA Grand Champion]] Wrestling/EddieKingston at ''Wrestling Is Heart Cardiac Arrest'' on October 19, 2013. |
| 49 | * BreakingTheGlassCeiling: First female CHIKARA Young Lions Cup Champion, first female RCW Heavyweight Champion, first female A1 Alpha Male Champion, one-half of the first ever all-female match for the CHIKARA Grand Championship... She ran on this for a few years in the independents. |
| 50 | * BreastAttack: Of the GenderInvertedTrope variety. She and Saturyne faced AC/DC (Arik Cannon and Darin Corbin) at ''Wrestling Is Heart: Circulate'', May 19, 2013. Heidi twisted up Cannon's nipples. Corbin looked like he was going to do the same to her...but settled for kicking her in the stomach. |
| 51 | * BullyingADragon: Her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbbu0JvE54k match]] on Smash Wrestling's ''[=SmashTV=]'' with Vanessa Kraven made it very clear why Kraven's nickname is "The Mountain." |
| 52 | * ClusterFBomb: She was Annie Social's second for her match with Shayna Baszler at ''AIW Girls Night Out 18''. Shayna knocked Annie out and was hammering her with elbows and Heidi was yelling "Call the fucking match" and "Ring the fucking bell!", getting so angry that she actually grabbed the ring bell and was ringing it herself to get Shayna to stop. |
| 53 | * CoolMask: Wore one in solidarity with Saturyne as part of their entrances at ''CHIKARA Tag World Grand Prix'' and when they teamed with The Estonian Thunderfrog at ''Wrestling Is Heart Pulse'' on April 20, 2013, as seen [[http://imagizer.imageshack.com/a/img633/8975/jqC0wm.jpg here]]. Ironically, Hania (the former Saturyne) would later say that she hated the mask and was glad to get rid of it. |
| 54 | * CrowdSong: |
| 55 | ** At the start of her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1tMuiY4Seo match]] with Kimber Lee at ''Remix Pro Throwdown For the Pound 12: Homeward Bound'' on October 17, 2015, some people chanted, "Heidi's gonna kill you! Heidi's gonna kill you!" a la the chants directed at Wrestling/{{Taz|z}}' or Wrestling/SamoaJoe's opponents. |
| 56 | ** At the start of her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XN01zRJpvG8 match]] with Brian Fury at ''Beyond Wrestling When Satan Rules His World'' on April 26, 2015, the crowd was singing the "Hi De Ho" part from Music/CabCalloway's "Minnie the Moocher." |
| 57 | ** During the ''Heart Of SHIMMER Tournament'', Veda Scott, who had been defeated by Lovelace in the previous round, kicked Amber Gertner off the commentary table and then started mocking the fans during Lovelace's match with Nicole Matthews for [[SoreLoser failing to get]] a Heidi Lovelace {{c|rowdchant}}hant started. The crowd responded by ''singing'' "Heidi Heidi Lovelace" to the turn of ''We Will Rock You'', which Scott admitted conceded was pretty good. |
| 58 | * DavidVersusGoliath: At only 5'4, this is inevitable. Zigzagged depending on who her opponent is and on whether or not she wins. |
| 59 | ** During her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQCJFcVLABo match]] with Alexia Nicole at ''A1 Final Act 6'', the announcers said that Heidi was only about 5'3 but that Alexia made her look like a giant. |
| 60 | ** She won the OVW Women's Title #1 Contendership Femme Fatales Battle Royal on the August 3, 2013 episode of OVW TV by eliminating the 5'11 218 lbs. Wrestling/LeiDTapa, who had singlehandledly eliminated everybody else from the match except for Holly Blossom. |
| 61 | * {{Determinator}}: Oh yeah. It's one of her trademarks. In the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcWc8XODDNk match]] where she defeated "Money" Matt Cage for the AAW Heritage Title, her ability to get up from Cage's Money Clip dFinishing Move and keep coming back led to the announcers saying, "This girl's got balls." |
| 62 | ** NoOneCouldSurviveThat: The reaction to Heidi kicking out after Kimber Lee gave her a top rope sitout power bomb during their match at ''[=F1RST=] Wrestling Wrestlepalooza VIII''. |
| 63 | ** AmbiguouslyHuman: After she kicked out of a top-rope chestcracker during her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJYno9zboRA match]] with [[https://www.cagematch.net//?id=5&nr=1524 A1 Zero Gravity Champion]] Kobe Durst at ''A1 One Crazy Night 2015'', December 13, 2015, one of the commentators said, "Heidi can't be human." In fact, Kobe grew so frustrated with not being able to pin Heidi that he simply knocked out the referee and left. |
| 64 | * DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: At ''Wrestling is Heart Cardiac Arrest'' on October 19, 2013, she actually ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsN4tS72qwo defeated]]'' then-CHIKARA Grand Champion [[Wrestling/EddieKingston EDDIE KINGSTON]] in a non-title match. |
| 65 | * DidntSeeThatComing: She scored a quick win over Sabrina Sixx at ''EPW St. Patrick's Beatdown'' on March 3, 2014, and then grabbed the mic and asked if there was any other competition in the locker room. Unfortunately for her, Danny Cannon [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHGsusJbuKA answered]]. |
| 66 | * DirtyCoward: |
| 67 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MmwVa9xMJo Defeated]] "Crazy" Mary Dobson at ''EPW Changes Made'' on November 13, 2014 via Reed Bentley knocking Mary off the top and Heidi pinning her with her feet on the ropes. |
| 68 | ** Inverted during her match with Athena at ''AIW All In'', since she tried the same trick, but the referee caught it. |
| 69 | * DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: In the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vnKcZNWbp0&t=2s "Top 5 Moves of Heidi Lovelace"]] video, even she seems surprised when she hit a Tornado DDT on Mr. Azerbaijan. |
| 70 | * EyeScream: Hallowicked dug his fingers into Heidi's black eye during the "Golden Dreams" trios match (all participants were at one time CHIKARA Young Lions Cup Champions) where he, Chuck Taylor and Arik Cannon defeated Heidi, Fire Ant and "Mr. Touchdown" Mark Angelosetti at ''CHIKARA Exit Strategy'', October 10, 2015, leading to Hallowicked pinning her with his Never Wake Up finisher. |
| 71 | * FacialMarkings: After being being left in a broken heap like a "ragdoll" by Lei'D Tapa, Lovelace embraced it by painting "stiches" on face and getting "patchwork" gear to look like a [[LivingToys different kind of ragdoll]]. |
| 72 | * FinishingMove: Heidi-Can-Rana, also a frog splash, though she [[BaitAndSwitch replaced it]] with a top rope senton during ''The Heart Of SHIMMER''. |
| 73 | * FriendlessBackground: A self-described example in the promo mentioned under AbhorrentAdmirer above. |
| 74 | * FunWithAcronyms: She teamed with Rickey Shane Page against DJ Hyde and Penelope Ford at ''Wrestling Geekfest'' on August 15, 2015. Heidi and Rickey's team was introduced as PMA, for '''P'''retty '''M'''uch '''A'''mazing. |
| 75 | * GeekyAnalogy: Inverted. During the match where she defeated Matt Cage for the AAW Heritage Title, the announcers mentioned that Wrestling/{{MsChif}} was the first woman to ever main event in AAW, and called Heidi the "Creator/RondaRousey" to [=MsChif's=] "Creator/GinaCarano." |
| 76 | * GenkiGirl: She burst out of the curtains for her match with Kimber Lee at ''Remix Pro Throwdown for the Pound 12: Homeward Bound'', and said, "I don't need music!" The announcers said, "she's jumpy and peppy, she's her own entrance music." |
| 77 | * GimmickMatches: |
| 78 | ** Defeated Hudson Envy in a Tacks, Ladders and Canes match in the first round of IWA Mid-South Queen of the Death Match 2014, June 28, 2014, but Ludark Shaitan defeated her in a semi-final Fans Bring the Weapons match later that same night. |
| 79 | ** Jordynne Grace d. Heidi in a Falls Count Anywhere Match at IWA Mid-South Heartbreak 2014, February 8, 2014. |
| 80 | * GirlOnGirlIsHot: She and Wrestling/TaelerHendrix were supposed to be in a lesbian relationship in OVW, but they never kissed. Heidi gave Taeler a TakeThatKiss when she realized Taeler was using her. There is, however, [[http://imagizer.imageshack.com/a/img538/5690/NGWHAA.jpg this picture]] of Taeler planting one on Heidi. |
| 81 | * GirlsWithMoustaches: Wrestling/OldeWrestling's ''Speakeasy Spectacular'', May 8, 2015, was built around the appearance of "The Bearded Lady." The scheduled main event was [[https://www.cagematch.net//?id=5&nr=2331 Olde Wrestling World Champion]] Matthew Cross defending the title against Clean of the Jollyville Jeepers. Before the match, Clean said that he was going to bring out the Bearded Lady. Out walked Heidi the Riveter (see WrestlingDoesntPay below) wearing a beard, drawing heel heat and chants of "phony." Cross won the match and Heidi and Clean started a heel beatdown, leading to Mary Elizabeth Monroe (Wrestling/RingOfHonor's Kelly Klein) coming out wearing a beard, leading to a mixed-tag match, which Cross and Monroe won. |
| 82 | * GoshDangItToHeck: On SHIMMER, SHINE, CHIKARA and related, she ''tries'' to keep her mouth clean and stop her cussing at the first letter, d-word, especially if Solo Darling is around. On Absolute Intense and All American Wrestling shows, she more loose with her language. And if she's with Annie Social, all bets are off. |
| 83 | * GreenEyedMonster: Towards Princess Kimberlee for winning the CHIKARA Grand Championship because of how "Mr. Touchdown" Mark Angelosetti's cheating cost Dasher's Dugout their shot at the finals of the Challenge of the Immortals. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlDVs51on9Y This video]], previewing their match at ''CHIKARA No One's First, And You're Next'' on August 21, 2016, spells it out very well, including clips from her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOZ5s9WqCQE promo]] at ''CHIKARA The Secret of the Ooze'' on March 19, which was the first-ever all-female CHIKARA Grand Championship match. |
| 84 | * HappyBirthdayToYou: Some fans sang it to her after she [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRs-3CPcN5o&t=9s defeated]] Melanie Cruise at ''[=F1RST=] Wrestling Wrestlepalooza'' on January 9, 2016. |
| 85 | * HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Sometimes dependent on where she is wrestling at the time. Memorably, PGWA had her as the heel against her long standing tormenter Taeler Hendrix (granted, other than Lovelace being the one heckling the fans their dynamic was otherwise unchanged). |
| 86 | * HollywoodSatanism: For her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPHlm6jjkjI&t=1s match]] with Kimber Lee at ''Beyond Wrestling Americanrana 2015'', she wore a Team Pazuzu shirt with a pentagram on it and was announced as "Beelzebub's Bitch." |
| 87 | * IAmTheNoun: From her rejected CHIKARA theme: |
| 88 | -->"Not just another pretty face\ |
| 89 | I'm the Punk Rock Ragdoll Heidi Lovelace" |
| 90 | * IKissYourHand: Faced Eddie Smooth on Night II of the ''2014 Young Lions Cup Tournament'', November 1, 2014. Smooth wanted a kiss on the cheek at the start of the match. Heidi offered a handshake instead and Smooth kissed her hand. |
| 91 | * IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: At ''A1 Final Act 7'', November 27, 2016, the A1 Tag Team Champions Gregory Iron and Rickey Shane Page defeated Wrestling/TheSuperSmashBrothers. After the match, Iron [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQnsN9CsW3w went off]] on the fans, saying he was their hero and questioning why they were chanting, "That's not Rickey!" Heidi made her way out and talked about how she could relate to Page's problems and mentioned the drugs that Iron was giving him and even said,"I can see you're in there somewhere, underneath all those pills that this jerk has been pushing on you." Heidi said that she'll have to "beat some sense" into Page and that she wasn't going to just wake him up, she's going to bring him back, with the crowd chanting, "Bring him back! Bring him back!" This set up Heidi vs. Page at ''A1 One More Crazy Night'' on December 18th, which Page won, making this an aversion. |
| 92 | * IveNeverSeenAnythingLikeThisBefore: This was one of the commentators' reaction to seeing Heidi's Deadly Night Shade (see NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast) during Heidi's match with Crazy Mary Dobson at ''AIW Girls Night Out 5'', January 29, 2012. |
| 93 | * {{Kayfabe}}: She appeared with Ray Otis and referee Ames on ''WNDU [=NewsCenter=] 16 Saturday Morning'' on September 19, 2015 to promote that day's special ''Headlock on Hunger'' event. Heidi had her RCW Heavyweight Championship belt with her. The newswoman asked Heidi how long she gets to keep the belt, and she said that she has to keep defending it until somebody beats her. |
| 94 | * KissOfDistraction: |
| 95 | ** Teamed with Saturyne against AC/DC (Arik Cannon and Darin Corbin) at ''CHIKARA Tag World Grand Prix 2013, Stage One'', May 18, 2013. This being a Corbin match, there was a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AlEGclzLA4 slow-motion sequence]], which Cannon ended by kissing Heidi. She slapped him for it, and he punched her. |
| 96 | ** Happened [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2daW6gvae_4 again]], though without the slow-motion, during Heidi's match with Arik Cannon at ''AIW Failure By Design'', August 8, 2014. |
| 97 | ** And a third time, during the Sally Stitches-Arik Cannon match at ''Freelance Wrestling Thrash Gordon'', August 21, 2015. |
| 98 | ** And a fourth time, via Cannon again, during the "Golden Dreams" trios match mentioned under EyeScream above. |
| 99 | ** Heidi used the same approach to set up pinning Cannon with a small package in her last CHIKARA match, at ''CHIKARA White Rabbit'', one of the "lost" Season 17 events. |
| 100 | * LampshadeHanging: Heidi's match with Crazy Mary Dobson at ''AIW Girls Night Out 5'', which was only a little over a year into Heidi's career and only a few months into Mary's, included some mistakes, which one of the commentators covered for by saying, "I haven't seen the smoothest match I've ever seen, but I have seen a lot of cool shit." |
| 101 | * LoveLetterLunacy: The storyline between Heidi and Taeler Hendrix in OVW (see GirlOnGirlIsHot above) started in April 2013, when Taeler was receiving gifts from a secret admirer. Taeler thought they were from either her boyfriend Dylan Bostic or from Ryan Howe, leading to many pull-apart brawls. On the April 24th episode, Bostic and Doug Williams fought Howe and then-[[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/ky/ovw/ovw-h.html OVW Heavyweight Champion]] Jamin Olivencia to a double-countout. After Williams and Olivencia left, Bostic and Howe continued fighting until Taeler ran in to stop them. Both guys denied sending Taeler the presents. Then Heidi walked to the ring and said that she was the one who sent them. The following week, Heidi confronted Taeler in the ring and said that Bostic and Howe didn't care about her but that she, Heidi, really does. Taeler said she'd need some time to think about that. This would eventually lead to the reveal that Taeler was manipulating Heidi to make it easier for her to regain the OVW Women's Title (but Heidi caught on and lost the belt to Wrestling/TarynTerrell later) |
| 102 | * ModestyTowel: On the July 3, 2013 episode of OVW TV, Heidi was seen wearing one of these when she overheard {{Manipulative B|astard}}itch Taeler Hendrix bragging to Nikki St. John in the locker room about having Heidi wrapped around her little finger, as seen [[https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/5111/VpMl5R.jpg here]]. |
| 103 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: |
| 104 | ** Team Pazuzu is named for the demon in ''Film/TheExorcist''. |
| 105 | ** Her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vnKcZNWbp0&t=2s headscissors into the second turnbuckle]] is called [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atropa_belladonna "Deadly Night Shade"]]. |
| 106 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Accidentally knocked Princess Kimberlee off the apron during the match where they teamed with Team Sea Stars (Ashley Vox and Delmi Exo) against the heXed Men (Icarus, Mark Angelosetti and The Batiri [Obariyon and Kodama]) at CHIKARA When Nature Calls, July 23, 2016, and Kimberlee confronted her about it. This led to the heXed Men winning the match. |
| 107 | * NoSell: Juan Francisco de Coronado gave her a low blow during their encore match at CHIKARA 5 Senses, January 30, 2016, which had no effect on her. |
| 108 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: She had this going back to her time in Billy Roc's School of Roc. During her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWcEt0verP0 match]] with TRASH, April 23, 2012, the announcers compared to her to ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Hodge Danny Hodge]]''. |
| 109 | * PowerStable: |
| 110 | ** (in SHINE): Wrestling/{{Daffney|Unger}}'s All-Star Squad(Daff's A.S.S.) |
| 111 | ** (in CHIKARA): Dasher's Dugout |
| 112 | ** (in [[Wrestling/WorldWonderRingSTARDOM Stardom]]): Kimura Monster-gun, then Oedo~Tai when Kyoko Kimura ceded leadership to Act Yasukawa. |
| 113 | ** (in Beyond Wrestling): Team Pazuzu |
| 114 | * PrecisionFStrike: In the promo where she explained why she joined Team Pazuzu, she mentioned how she and Brian Fury "tore the fucking house down." |
| 115 | ** In the match at Wrestling Geekfest, she yelled at DJ Hyde, who was billed as "The Lariat God," "You want a lariat, motherfucker?" |
| 116 | ** Her rejected CHIKARA theme had a few of these. |
| 117 | -->"Took out his ass with a baseball bat" |
| 118 | -->"I'm more than woman I'm a goddamn machine" |
| 119 | ** Crossed with YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: She had a feud with Wrestling/AllysinKay in AAW. During their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9qkO2TUM5o&t=3s match]] at ''AAW Take No Prisoners 2015'', Heidi had Allysin in a guillotine choke and threatened to "break her fucking neck." |
| 120 | * {{Pun}}: She [[https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/madewithlove.html sells]] a T-Shirt that features the slogan, "Made With Love for a Lovelace World." |
| 121 | * PurpleIsPowerful: Not all the time, but, she wore purple a lot. |
| 122 | * {{Red Baron}}ess: "The Punk-Rock Ragdoll", "The Vintage Vixen". |
| 123 | * TheResenter: Check out her facial expressions when Princess Kimberlee is talking about being the first female CHIKARA Grand Champion during their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8aztMovuLM promo]] at ''CHIKARA Tightrope'' on June 11, 2016. |
| 124 | * RuleOfThree: Tried twice to hit Wrestling/ReyMysterioJr's (619) move (which, in her case, would be the (765)) during her match with Thunderkitty at ''IPW Renascence'', but Thunderkitty got out of the way both times. Heidi managed to hit the Deadly Night Shade and followed with the (619) for the win. |
| 125 | * ScrewedByTheNetwork: In-Universe in Channel Islands World Wrestling. At the June 5, 2016 event, CIWW World Champion of the World Classy Ric threw out an open challenge and Heidi accepted it and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZTcGUedP00 defeated]] Ric for the title in about three minutes in a near-total SquashMatch. She was stripped of the title later that night when referee Ian Stewart ruled that Ric was injured and should not have been "forced to fight." |
| 126 | * SelfDeprecation: For the match with Jordynne Grace at IWA Mid-South Heartbreak 2014, she wore a T-shirt that read, "LAST PLACE." |
| 127 | * SheIsTheKing: CHIKARA did not rename the Young Lions Cup the "Young Lioness Cup" for her. |
| 128 | ** Same with her [[https://twitter.com/A1Wrestling/status/732021478657523712 defeating]] "Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander for the A1 Alpha Male Title, a point [[https://twitter.com/A1Wrestling/status/732305431155052544 acknowledged]] by Alpha-1 Wrestling itself. |
| 129 | ** StrangeMindsThinkAlike: On January 24, 2018, UsefulNotes/KentuckyFriedChicken announced CountryMusic legend Music/{{Reba McEntire}} as the first woman to play founder Colonel Sanders in their commercials, saying, "We’ve always maintained that anyone, male or female, who embodies the spirit of the colonel is qualified to play the iconic role." |
| 130 | * ShoutOut: On her T-shirts: |
| 131 | ** Her [[https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/punk-rock-ragdoll.html Punk Rock Ragdoll shirt]] is one to the classic [[Wrestling/{{ECW}} EC F'N W]] shirt. |
| 132 | ** Her [[https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/heidi-vs-the-world.html Heidi Lovelace vs. The World]] shirt is one to ''ComicBook/ScottPilgrim''. |
| 133 | ** [[https://www.instagram.com/p/8hXkjav00i/ This one]] is modeled on the band Music/TheMisfits' logo. |
| 134 | ** [[https://www.instagram.com/p/vTo-mzv0yB/ This post]], promoting an event held by Florida Super Championship Wrestling (since renamed [[http://www.roninprowrestling.com Ronin Pro Wrestling]]), features a quote from ''ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}'', Vol. 2, #38 (October 1996). |
| 135 | * SpitefulSpit: To A1 Zero Gravity Champion Kobe Durst during their match at ''A1 One Crazy Night 2015''. |
| 136 | * StayInTheKitchen: Discussed/defied in her rejected theme, leading to the fourth example under PrecisionFStrike: |
| 137 | -->"Why should I cook why should I clean?" |
| 138 | * TagTeam: |
| 139 | ** Team [=LoveLee=], with Kimber Lee. |
| 140 | ** Brutally Heartless, as Miss Heidi with Brutus Dylan. |
| 141 | ** The Buddy System, with Wrestling/SoloDarling. |
| 142 | ** The Social Network, with Annie Social. |
| 143 | ** Team Slap Happy, with Evie. |
| 144 | * TattooedCrook: If she's a heel. She has several tattoos, including a big one on her chest. |
| 145 | * TheatricsOfPain: She's not called "The Punk-Rock Ragdoll" for nothing. While not a "true" ragdoll in the {{contortionist}} sense, coming back from or at least surviving punishment that by rights should have Lovelace in a coma is part of her gimmick. |
| 146 | * ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: During the match at Wrestling Geekfest, she hit a German Suplex on Penelope Ford while yelling, "German Suplex, bitch!" |
| 147 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: With Princess Kimberlee. This is especially evident in their respective Olde Wrestling gimmicks of Heidi the Riveter and "Kickin'" Kimber Lee, a wrestling [[TheFlapper Flapper]]. |
| 148 | * TooManyBelts: Held the CHIKARA Young Lions Cup while holding the RCW Heavyweight Title AND the AIW Women's Title, and La Copa Idolo. |
| 149 | * TournamentArc: |
| 150 | ** On May 14, 2011, Brutally Heartless defeated Team Wreckless (Blackjack Majik and Nick Xero) and Hank Calhoun and Mike King in the finals of the 2011 Totally Independent Tag Team Tournament at Eagles in South Bend, IN, held by NWA Underground and NWA Midwest to win the RCW Tag Team Titles. |
| 151 | ** Defeated Arik Cannon to become the inaugural FEST Wrestling Champion at the promotion's October 30, 2016 event. |
| 152 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: Just ask Matt Cage or Eddie Kingston. In fact, in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llpMfjN4vDo this promo]], hyping her match with [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/il/shimmer/shimmer-s.html SHIMMER Champion]] Nicole Matthews for ''AAW Hell Hath No Fury'' on April 10, 2015, she talks about how she's been an underdog her whole life and how there have always been people who thought that she couldn't do something or that she didn't deserve to win the AAW Heritage Title. |
| 153 | * UnsportsmanlikeGloating: Holding up the OVW Women's Title belt and doing the same kind of [[https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/300x450q90/537/yvKAVN.jpg fingerlick]] pose that Wrestling/MickieJames [[https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/457x312q90/901/O0uomB.jpg did]] in her match with Wrestling/TrishStratus at ''Wrestling/{{WrestleMania}} XXII'', though more in a sense of "What you can do to me," rather than "What I'd like to do to you." |
| 154 | * UnwantedAssistance: After the match with Danny Cannon mentioned under DidntSeeThatComing, Heidi raised Cannon's hand in victory and tried to show respect by shaking Cannon's hand, but her cornerman Reed Bentley pulled her away and even tried carrying her off with her sitting on his shoulders, until he let her down and she walked to the back. |
| 155 | * UrbanLegendLoveLife: AIW said that she had a crush on BJ Whitmer. During the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuMmVKMs5WE match]] where she defeated Arik Cannon to become the inaugural FEST Wrestling Champion, the commentators said they were in a relationship and questioned, if they got married, how they would explain this match to their kids. After Heidi defeated Taeler Hendrix for the OVW Women's Title, Taeler accused Heidi of getting the title "on her back." No evidence has ever been provided for any of these. |
| 156 | * VitriolicBestBuds: With Kimber Lee. On October 27th, 2015, the Ohio promotion Remix Pro Wrestling [[https://twitter.com/RemixPro/status/659195818587615232 tweeted]] a picture of the two together sticking their tongues out with the caption "Good friends better enemies." Additionally, their DependingOnTheWriter HeelFaceRevolvingDoor tendencies suggest that they may be destined to fight forever. |
| 157 | * WomanScorned: OVW Women's Champion Trina was on commentary for the OVW Women's Title #1 Contendership Femme Fatales Battle Royal on the August 3, 2013 episode, which had Taeler and Heidi as the first two participants, and she called Heidi this. |
| 158 | * WouldHitAGirl: BDK member Nøkken chokeslammed Heidi when she had Wrestling is Heart La Copo Idolo Champion Joe Pittman in the CHIKARA Special during their match at ''National Pro Wrestling Day 2014'', February 1, 2014, as part of the Flood's invasion, making it an outright invoking of What Could Have Been. Understand that Heidi is 5'4 and 122 lbs. and Nøkken is 6'8 and 316 lbs. |
| 159 | * WouldntHitAGirl: In [[https://www.leaderpub.com/2015/02/26/punk-rock-rag-doll-defeats-obstacles-to-break-mold-of-female-wrestling/ this interview]], she talked about her male opponents sometimes being reluctant to hit her. |
| 160 | * WrestlingDoesntPay: |
| 161 | ** As Heidi the Riveter in Olde Wrestling. The promotion describes itself as a "reenactment event celebrating the competition of professional wrestling as it was presented at the turn-of-the-20th century." |
| 162 | ** [[WorkingClassHero Working Class Heel]]: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gr7RK56ZwQ4 This video]] shows her working at the factory and receiving and reading a telegram (complete with TelegraphGagStop) that says that she will be facing "Kicking" Kimber Lee at ''Olde Wrestling And Yet Another Extravaganza of Wrestling Exhibitions'' on August 28th, and objecting to Kimber Lee's Flapper lifestyle. |

| 164 | |
| 165 | [[folder:As Ruby Riot(t)]] |
| 166 | * AlliterativeName: '''R'''uby '''R'''iott |
| 167 | * ArchEnemy: She and Nikki Cross became foes the moment Ruby debuted, and the two spent the next few months fighting or calling the other out. |
| 168 | * BigDamnHeroes: Made her debut by rushing to Tye Dillinger, Wrestling/RoderickStrong, and No Way Jose's aid as they were being assaulted by Wrestling/{{SAnitY}}, which finally gave the three someone who could deal with Nikki Cross. |
| 169 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Played one of Wrestling/AdamRose's "Rosebuds" on the December 15, 2014 ''Raw''. |
| 170 | * EnemyMine: Although she and Nikki Cross despised each other, they cooperated at several points during their Fatal Threeway championship match against Asuka at ''NXT [=TakeOver=]: Chicago''. |
| 171 | * FashionableAsymmetry: Befitting the chaos that she and her PowerTrio represent, her look as Ruby Riott is about as asymmetrical as possible. She has a sleeve tattoo on her right arm only, wears tights that are long on the right and short on the left, shaves one side of her head with the other side sporting long hair, and wears tape on her left hand but not her right. |
| 172 | * {{Heel}} {{Jobber}}: Since being called up to WWE's main roster, she has lost far more times than she has won. |
| 173 | * ImNotHereToMakeFriends: Ruby said this word for word in the Riott Squad's debut promo. |
| 174 | * KaleidoscopeHair: Wore a green wig for her appearance as a Rosebud on ''Raw''. She usually has red hair as the leader of the Riott Squad. She would later sport teal hair following her return to ''Raw'' in 2020. |
| 175 | * PowerTrio: Wrestling/TheRiottSquad, with Wrestling/LivMorgan and Sarah Logan. |
| 176 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: As a heel. |
| 177 | * ReformedButRejected: To Liv Morgan. She tries to console with her former Riott Squad teammate, after losing to Natalya, but Morgan immediately rejects her. [[SubvertedTrope Thankfully, they got better]]. |
| 178 | * TheResenter: Her feuds (and, by extension, Wrestling/TheRiottSquad's) with people such as Wrestling/CharlotteFlair and Wrestling/NatalyaNeidhart: Ruby and her friends had to earn every single accolade and achievement they fought for, while they got the benefit from coming from {{wrestling famil|y}}ies. |
| 179 | * SupermodelStrut: Struts to the ring for her Tables Match with Wrestling/NatalyaNeidhart at WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs 2018, as seen [[https://twitter.com/DivaBibleWWE/status/1074484585445163008 here]]. |
| 180 | * TattooAsCharacterType: Several of them, very visibly on her torso and both arms, establishing her as a rebellious free spirit. |
| 181 | * XtremeKoolLetterz: ''Riott'' |
| 182 | [[/folder]] |
| 183 | |
| 184 | [[folder:As Ruby Soho]] |
| 185 | * ArchEnemy: |
| 186 | ** In the latter half of 2022, by siding with Wrestling/EddieKingston during his feud with Wrestling/ChrisJericho and the Wrestling/JerichoAppreciationSociety, Ruby became heated enemies with both Tay Melo and later Anna Jay, when the former joined the JAS to help her friend. For a long time, Ruby barely got any wins from the feud and even received a broken nose from Tay. After she returned from injury, Ruby continued to feud with the duo but still couldn't get the upper hand until an episode of ''Rampage'' in 2023 where she and Willow Nightingale defeated Anna and Tay in a bloody street fight match that left Ruby with a bloody face. |
| 187 | ** Ruby has been feuding with [[Wrestling/BrittBaker Dr. Britt Baker]] and her cahoots (Jamie Hayter and Rebel) ever since she first set foot on AEW. Most of the time, the feud involves Britt mocking Ruby for failing to capture a title despite multiple attempts. After failing to win the AEW Women's World Championship as a result of Jamie and Rebel's interference, Ruby would again face Britt at the finals of the Owen Hart tournament at ''Double or Nothing 2022'' only to lose again. In the weeks heading to ''Revolution 2023'', Ruby is caught in the rivalry between Britt's faction (now with Jamie as the champion) and Saraya/Toni Storm. After losing another championship match, Ruby turns heel and attacks Jamie and Britt, officially allying herself with Saraya and Toni to form the Outcasts. |
| 188 | * BoisterousBruiser: Generally, very happy to slug it out with her opponents. |
| 189 | * BoyishShortHair: She's back to it, now that she has more control over her own appearance. |
| 190 | * ContinuityNod: |
| 191 | ** Many EasterEggs in her "Runaway" videos, including her expired "Heidi Lovelace" ID and a graffiti-covered wall that reads "the riot is over". |
| 192 | ** Busted out the Heidi-can-rana on Kris Statlander in their Owen Cup semifinal match. |
| 193 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: If you didn't happen to catch any of her "Runaway" videos that teased her joining AEW, it was a total shock to hear Rancid's "Ruby Soho" blaring through the arena at ''All Out'' 2021, and Ruby making her AEW debut as the Joker in the Women's Casino Battle Royale. |
| 194 | * FaceHeelTurn: Betrayed the Face turned Britt Baker and Jamie Hayter in ''Revolution 2023'', revealing herself as a member of the Outcasts with Saraya and Toni Storm. |
| 195 | * FinishingMove: Her first was a Sole Food/Eat Defeat called "Destination Unknown", as a nod to her entrance theme. She's kept the name but changed the move to a Shellshock. |
| 196 | * FieryRedhead: Debuted with a fire-engine red bob to match her name. |
| 197 | * {{Leitmotif}}: "Ruby Soho" by Music/{{Rancid}}. She's friends with Lars Frederiksen, the band's lead, and [[ApprovalOfGod he greenlit]] her using the song as her entrance theme as well as the song's name as her {{Stage Name|s}}. |
| 198 | * MoralityPet: For Wrestling/EddieKingston, made very clear in his promo for his Barbed Wire Everywhere Match against Chris Jericho, where she was explicitly targeted by the JAS because of her connection to Eddie. |
| 199 | -->'''Eddie''': Every drop of blood is a sin you have committed, Chris. And that last drop of blood before you pass out? That's for my Ruby. |
| 200 | * OneOfTheBoys: Hangs out with Wrestling/EddieKingston and Ortiz instead of having any female friends. Discontinued since joining The Outcasts alongside Saraya and Toni Storm. |
| 201 | * RedBaron: "The Runaway" |
| 202 | * TheRival: Tay Melo is becoming hers. It started simply as Tay and Ruby being [[TheSmurfettePrinciple the only women on their respective teams]] of the Jericho Appreciation Society and Wrestling/BlackpoolCombatClub + Associates. Then Tay broke Ruby's wrist in a car door (a message from Jericho to Wrestling/EddieKingston) and Tay and Sammy broke Ruby's nose in another match months later. Now, it's on-sight between them. |
| 203 | * ShipTease: With [[Wrestling/ThreePoint0 Angelo Parker]], the two engaging in playful banter multiple times in backstage promos, and Angelo even [[MaleGaze staring at Ruby's butt]] as she walked away at one point. |
| 204 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: Since her feud with Tay Melo got her a broken wrist and a broken nose, Ruby hasn't been a fan of teaming up with anyone, which made her matches with [[GenkiGirl Willow]] [[ThePollyanna Nightingale]] against [=TayJay=] less than fun for Ruby. |
| 205 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: She used to get along well with Willow Nightingale, the two having teamed up together before in the past and Ruby even defending her from Saraya and Toni Storm after the latter beat her. After Ruby's FaceHeelTurn, Willow tries to talk down Ruby from spray painting Skye Blue after Ruby defeated her. Ruby rejects Willow's offer, and beats her up alongside Saraya and Toni Storm, allowing Willow to be spray painted as well. |
