The problem with Ruby's match with Jade (and, to an extent, Rosa's match with her as well) is that Ruby tried to lead her by the hand when she herself isn't good enough to do that. If she couldn't have a good match with a much more experienced yet still bad worker like Penelope Ford (to be fair, it only fell apart when Ford gassed), why would she have better results with a worse, stiffer, and less experienced worker like Jade? You have to actually be a good and creative worker to make that happen, and Ruby, at the very least, certainly isn't a creative worker.
Jade and Anna basically completely idiot proofed the match and probably practiced it repeatedly before putting it on here. They (or whoever put it together for them) had a good read on what they can and can't do and worked toward it, with the result being a dull and kind of empty match. However, it didn't suck or make it's practiced nature completely obvious, and I'll take that when the workers probably have fewer than 150 matches (maybe even 100) combined.
As for Ruby herself, her issue seems to be that she's tiny and doesn't realize it. If she were 5'6" or so, the way she works would make complete sense, but because she's small, certain things that could look good or have impact don't, like her rope running or her selling (which has nothing to it except making Ruby look really, really weak. Can't just sell like a beaten dog when you're tiny, you have to show more fire than that) or her finish. And it's not like her finish is even her best or most impressive looking move, that would be the head scissors driver she used against Statlander in the tournament. But she's used that once and kept the No Future, which has almost never not felt like an anticlimactic way to end a match. There's a good wrestler in there somewhere, but Ruby really needs to retool her game to find said wrestler.
on QT might have been the moment of the night though.
