Awesome / Ruby Riott

"Destination is MOST CERTAINLY known!"

• Winning the AAW Heritage Title and the CHIKARA Young Lions Cup. In both cases, she was the first woman to ever hold a title in either promotion.^note AAW introduced their Women's Title in 2017.
• Crowning Moment of EVERYTHING: This picture of Heidi and her parents all sticking their tongues out together, as Heidi wrote about how great it felt to have her parents at the show and cheering her on as she did what she loves. Doubles as Creator's Favorite Episode.
• Her promo at CHIKARA The Secret of the Ooze, and the match itself.
• Her match against Missile Assault Ant to become the first female CHIKARA Young Lions Cup Champion during the "Pre-Show-A-Go-Go" before CHIKARA Tomorrow Never Dies.
• Following her release from WWE, Ruby teased her next venture with the release of a short film in three parts called 'The Runaway', with her traveling across America until she finally arrives in her destination, Soho. As the famous Rancid song starts to play, she gets carded at the door of a bar and offers her ID with the picture and name of "Heidi Lovelace" on it, before realising her mistake at giving the bouncer her old card and instead handing him her new one, identifying her as "RUBY SOHO". One of the most stylish rebrandings since Mox broke out of jail.
• It was a twist that most people saw coming (and had been highly anticipating), but at the climax of the women's Casino Battle Royale at AEW's biggest show to date, All Out 2021, the 21st and final competitor was revealed to be, of course, Ruby Soho, to a massive pop from the accepting audience. And she didn't just make an impression in her debut, she won the whole thing, last eliminating the ferocious Thunder Rosa to earn a future appointment with Women's Champion Britt Baker. Despite Rosa's popularity, the crowd went wild for Ruby as she celebrated in the ring, her newly-revitalized wrestling career off to a flying start^note though as is usually the case for Ruby in any place outside CHIKARA this petered out eventually, taking off some of the luster.
• While Ruby was sidelined for large portions of 2022 with various injuries and storylines that went nowhere, she cemented herself as one of the best parts of AEW's expanding women's division in a Street Fight on the 1/13/23 episode of Rampage. Ruby teamed with Willow Nightingale to take on Tay Melo and Anna Jay, and from the moment Ruby took a Tay stomp from inside a trashcan and emerged with blood pouring down her face, AEW fans cheered what was very much a star-making performance. Further badassery included taking a Gotch piledriver on the ring apron, initiating a Tower of Doom spot where all four women crashed into a stack of chairs, and performing a Destination Unknown, throwing Tay face-first into thumbtacks. Ruby may have set a new level on the Muta Scale, upping even Britt Baker and the Bunny's bloody matches.
