Friend Encounters is a weekly series featuring friends meeting celebrities.
My Wisconsin convention buddy Dennis is at it again. He got one of the wrestlers I would love to meet and he did it in my hometown!
Calyx Harmony Hampton is better known as Sol Ruca, one of the rising stars in the WWE. I don't follow current wrestling too closely, but there are a handful of young wrestlers I really like and Sol Ruca is one of them.
She signed with the WWE in 2022, when she was just 22. Pro Wrestling Illustrated named her the Rookie of the Year for 2023. She was ranked No. 23 of the top 250 female singles wrestlers in the PWI Women's 250 in 2025. She won the NXT North American Women's title and the WWE Women's Speed championship. She was just brought up to the main roster and has a bright future.
So how did Dennis scoop me on this one? I could have gone, but I know the line for her was ridiculously long. I applaud Dennis for having the grit to withstand it. Maybe I am too old. I like her, but not enough to put that much effort into it.
So Dennis got me on this one. I suddenly feel the urge to find a Brewers player for a picture to get even.
