Sol Ruca, born Calyx Harmony Hampton on 26 August 1999 in Ontario, California, is an American professional wrestler signed to WWE, where she performs on Raw. Her father, musician Paul A. Hampton, is African American and her mother is white American, a mixed heritage Ruca has discussed publicly while describing how she understands her own identity. She competed in acrobatics and tumbling at the University of Oregon and signed with WWE in March 2022 with no wrestling experience, bringing a surfer presentation and the springboard Sol Snatcher finisher to NXT. There she won the Women's North American Championship in a ladder match at Stand & Deliver 2025 and the Women's Speed Championship, holding both at once. Called up to Raw in April 2026, she defeated Becky Lynch at Clash in Italy in May to win the Women's Intercontinental Championship. In October 2026 she remained an active Raw competitor, beating Lyra Valkyria in the Main Event main event on 14 October.
