LeRae became the inaugural WWE Women’s Speed Champion last October by defeating IYO SKY in the finals of a tournament. She retained the title twice via time-limit draw prior to her loss to Ruca, going to a draw with Natalya on the January 10 taping in Phoenix, Arizona, and another with Zoey Stark on the February 21 taping in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The win over LeRae was Ruca’s second big victory of the week. She also defeated Jazmyn Nyx on NXT to qualify for the NXT Women’s North American title ladder match at Stand & Deliver.
