All Elite Wrestling star Ruby Soho says she felt like she was home when she made her debut for the company at the All Out pay-per-view in Chicago on September 5.

Soho talked about her journey to AEW during a recent chat with Digital Spy's Stephanie Chase in which she said she struggled to find her place in WWE but immediately felt at home when she debuted for AEW.

“I never thought that I was going to make it to WWE,” said Soho. “At the time that I had started [wrestling], they weren’t hiring women that looked like me. But then, right place, right time, they started hiring people that looked different," she continued. “But I still felt like I couldn’t quite find my place and didn’t quite fit in and then coming to AEW, it was instant. It was immediate, I felt like I was home.”

The artist formerly known as Ruby Riott was released by WWE along with several of her now-former colleagues on the morning of Wednesday, June 2. Other big names released that day include Braun Strowman and Aleister Black. Shortly after being released, Riott changed her ring name to Ruby Soho, a homage to the 1995 Rancid song of the same name which she used as her entrance music as she made her way to the ring at All Out. Soho went on to win the Casino Battle Royale moments later by last eliminating Thunder Rosa.

"I went into it with expectations of just, I really hope and pray that they like me, or they're happy to see me or they're happy that I am The Joker," Ruby said in the aforementioned Digital Spy interview. "I went into it really hoping that they would accept me," she added. "So it was an amazing surprise, not only to hear 'Ruby' but 'Ruby Soho', which is a name I hadn't gone by yet. It just felt like the perfect beginning to this new chapter of my life, like these people know that this is a new start and they know that this is a different version of me and I'm excited to, you know, show who that really is."

Ruby Soho will face Britt Baker for the AEW Women's Championship on the special Grand Slam edition of AEW Dynamite in New York's prestigious Arthur Ashe Stadium on Wednesday, September 22.
