On the August 3 episode ofRaw, Ruby appeared on the Kevin Owens Show and apologized to the returningLiv Morgan, only to be interrupted by The IIconics. Later the same night, Liv decided to team up with Riott to take on The IIconics in a winning effort. This marked the beginning of reformation of Morgan and Riott as The Riott Squad.

On June 18, 2021, during an interview onWrestling Perspective Podcast, Prange discussed how she would like to keep the Ruby name for her character and would not be returning to her Heidi Lovelacering name as she disliked that name, and it was never her idea to begin with. She said she originally took the Ruby name from theRancid 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'sLars 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. The name change was confirmed via a post on Prange'sInstagram account.[60]

At theRevolution event on March 5, 2023, afterJamie Hayter defeated Soho andSaraya to retain the AEW Women's Championship, Soho beat down Hayter and Britt Baker and aligned herself with Saraya andToni Storm, thus turning heel for the first time since her 2021 WWE departure and the first in her AEW career overall.[72] On 10 March, the group became officially known as "The Outcasts".[73] On the July 5 episode ofDynamite, Soho competed in the Owen Hart Foundation Women's Tournament, defeating Britt Baker in the quarterfinals of the tournament before losing toWillow Nightingale in the finals.
