Video: Formerly Known As: Ruby Riott

Early Squad goals. Formerly Known As has become one of my favorite WWE series to watch and I’ve gotten to the point where I look forward to seeing the show. There are so many people who could be a featured performer and that leaves the doors wide open for years on the idea. If nothing else it’s always fun to see what these people did before they reached the highest level and their journeys, while similar in nature, are always unique in so many ways. WWE is back with another episode and as usual, it’s quite good.

Another winner, as always.

Ruby Riott reveals her reality TV namesake: WWE Formerly Known As

WWE has released its latest episode of Formerly Known As, this time looking at Ruby Riott’s career. As usual, the show takes a wrestler back to the place where they started to wrestle while looking at the path they took to get where they are today. In Riott’s case, it looks at how wasn’t a fan in the first place but fell in love with it, ultimately moving to Lafayette, Indiana to train. Also included is footage of her training days and early career, leading up to her signing with WWE in December 2016.

Check out another great episode right here.

Opinion: Riott has grown on me a lot in the last few months, going from someone who is just kind of there to someone with potential to go somewhere in the future. She has a good look and can go in the ring, but more importantly she’s shown an ability to speak rather well, which isn’t often the case with someone so new in the business. Riott could go somewhere in the future and if her momentum continues, I could very easily see her winning a Women’s Title by the end of the year.
