The Five-Star Superstar: Ruthie Jay
Since joining the National Wrestling Alliance early in 2023, Ruthie Jay has been a woman on a mission.
Over the last year, the Haitian-born NWA star’s kept her eye on the prize. Logging a string of impressive victories, Jay received repeated pay-per-view opportunities at NWA championship gold.
“The Five-Star Athlete” received her first major chance at the 2023 Crockett Cup. During a wild, multi-woman “Hardcore Team Warfare” match on the PPV’s opening night, she eliminated then NWA Women’s Television Champion Kenzie Paige.
The following night, Jay received a title opportunity. Though she failed to wrest the belt from Paige, she defeated the champion by disqualification.
Months later at Samhain, she again faced Paige, this time the NWA Women’s World Title on the line. In a hard-fought battle, the champ pinned Jay.
“She didn’t win, but she impressed the heck out of everyone,” says Jazz, who held the NWA Women’s World championship for 948 days.
At this point, Jay has yet to pick up a signature victory or claim NWA gold. The young competitor’s stock continues to rise though, the legend says, with every outing.
“Every time Ruthie steps into the ring, she impresses me more,” the Hall of Famer continues. “I have no doubt she’ll eventually be an NWA champion.”
Ruthie Jay is definitely a (five) star on the rise!
