Former WWE star recalls emotional Chicago reaction to her AEW arrival
Summary
– Ruby Soho said her AEW All Out 2021 debut remains one of her career peaks
– Fans chanted her new name before she appeared, following online teaser videos
– She has been away from TV since 2024 after welcoming a child with Angelo Parker
Ruby Soho is looking back at one of the defining moments of her career, and the emotion behind it still resonates.
During a recent appearance on the FusionHaa podcast, Soho reflected on her AEW debut at All Out 2021 in Chicago. She described the moment as one of the biggest highlights of her time in wrestling.
Leading into that debut, Soho and her team released teaser videos online that revealed her new ring name. The fans’ response built anticipation heading into the event.
When she finally appeared, the Chicago crowd was already chanting her name before she even stepped onto the stage. Soho said that reaction gave her chills and validated the work that went into building that moment.
She also noted how special the night was overall, with multiple major debuts. Bryan Danielson and Adam Cole both made their AEW arrivals during the same event, creating a historic atmosphere.
Even with those major names involved, Soho felt her debut held its own on a night filled with high-profile moments. That meant a great deal to her as she reflected on the experience.
Chicago remains an important city in her career because of that reaction and the connection she felt with the audience.
Soho has not appeared on television since 2024, as she and Angelo Parker welcomed a child. Her focus has been on family, but her AEW debut remains a moment that continues to define her journey.
