Going by the ring name Ruby Riot, she made her television debut on the March 22 episode of NXT, attacking Nikki Cross and the rest of Sanity, alongside Tye Dillinger, No Way Jose and Roderick Strong, establishing herself as a face.

On June 18, 2021, during an interview on Wrestling Perspective Podcast, Prange discussed how she would like to keep the Ruby name for her character and would not be returning to her Heidi Lovelace ring name as she disliked that name and it was never her idea to begin with. She said she originally took the Ruby name from the Rancid song “Ruby Soho”, however, WWE owns the rights to the Ruby Riott ring name so she could no longer use it. It was then suggested by Rancid’s Lars Fredriksen, who is one of the hosts of the podcast, that she should use the ring name Ruby Soho and assured her that he could also have the song cleared legally for her to use as her entrance theme.
