NXT tag team impresses everyone with their SmackDown outing.

Earlier tonight on the October 3rd episode of SmackDown, fans witnessed the surprising arrival of NXT stars, Sol Ruca and Zaria, on the blue brand. The pair, seeking an opportunity for the tag-team title, were seen this week in the locker room with SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis regarding a tag-team championship opportunity.

However, they were interrupted by Alba Fyre and Chelsea Green, who had lost a title match to Bliss and Flair two weeks before. The former Women’s US Champion offered Ruca and Zaria a chance to be in her Secret Hervice owing to Piper Niven’s injury hiatus.

Rejecting the proposal, the duo set up a match against Green and Fyre tonight on SmackDown. They effectively won later in the night. While this marked Sol Ruca’s second SmackDown match, it was Zaria’s official debut on the blue brand.

The duo left behind a lasting impression with their win tonight, even impressing current women’s tag-team champions Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss.

Ruca has been receiving a tremendous push in the promotion. With her current status as a dual champion and a possible tag-title bout soon, she has impressed both the fans and the management in her short reign as a pro-wrestler.
