Biography
Born Dori Prange, the wrestler who would become Ruby Soho cut her teeth in the gritty, demanding world of the independent circuit, performing as Heidi Lovelace. Her signature look—dyed hair, combat boots, and a relentless, brawling style—was a statement of intent long before she hit national television. A standout in promotions like SHIMMER, she eventually signed with WWE, where as Ruby Riott she led a faction of misfits. But it was her arrival in AEW, debuting to the raucous strains of Rancid's 'Ruby Soho,' that truly cemented her place. There, she became a central figure in the women's division, a tough-as-nails competitor known for hard-hitting matches and a genuine connection with fans who see their own outsider spirit reflected in her journey.
Millennials
1981–1996
The first digital natives. Grew up with the internet, came of age during 9/11 and the 2008 crash. Highly educated, deeply indebted, slower to marry and buy houses. Redefined work, identity, and what it means to be an adult.
Ruby was born in 1991, placing them squarely in the Millennials. The events that shaped this generation — the internet revolution, 9/11, and the 2008 financial crisis — shaped the world they entered and the choices available to them.
