==Professional wrestling career==
===Independent circuit (2010–2016)===
In 2010, Prange began training with Billy Roc at his School of Roc. Lovelace made her debut for JCW, at the Arena Chicks at the Gathering! event, where she defeated CJ Lane. Lovelace made her debut for SHIMMER Women Athletes competing in SHIMMER Women Athletes Volume 51, where she teamed up with December in a losing effort to Pink Flash Kira and Sweet Cherrie in a tag team match.
On May 18, 2013, Lovelace made her debut for Chikara, when she and Saturyne entered the 2013 Tag World Grand Prix. They were, however, eliminated in their first round match by Arik Cannon and Darin Corbin. On December 6, 2014, in the pre-show of the Tomorrow Never Dies iPPV, Lovelace defeated Missile Assault Ant in the finals of a tournament to win the Chikara Young Lions Cup.
===Ohio Valley Wrestling (2012–2013)===
On May 16, 2012, Prange received a tryout in Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) against Taeler Hendrix, which she failed to win. Prange made her debut for the promotion under the ring name Heidi Lovelace on the May 23 episode of OVW, where she lost to CJ Lane. On the June 6 episode of OVW, Lovelace was defeated by Epiphany in a dark match. Lovelace made her television debut on the June 27 episode of OVW, where she competed in a fatal–four-way match, which was won by Hendrix. On the July 11 episode of OVW, Lovelace competed in a dark match losing to Jessie Belle Smothers.
On September 1 at OVW's Saturday Night Special, Lovelace defeated Hendrix in a No Disqualification match, earning a future championship match against her. Lovelace defeated Hendrix for the OVW Women's Championship on September 15 during a live event in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. After winning the Women's Championship, Lovelace had several victories: Jessie Belle Smoothers on September 19 at OVW episode 683, Epiphany on September 26 at OVW episode 684 and Scarlett Bordeaux on October 3 at OVW episode 685. However, on October 6 at OVW's Saturday Night Special, Lovelace lost to Josette Bynum in a non-title match, which meant that Bynum would receive a championship match in the future. On November 3 at OVW's Saturday Night Special, Lovelace successfully defended her championship against Josette Bynum and Taeler Hendrix in a Three Way match, after she pinned Hendrix. On the November 14 episode of OVW episode 691, Lovelace lost the Women's Championship to Taryn Terrell after the special guest referee Taeler Hendrix cost her the match. On the December 8 edition of OVW, Heidi lost to Jessie Belle Smothers in a number one contenders match. Beginning in January 2013, Taeler Hendrix was receiving gifts from a secret admirer which she thought was either Dylan Bostic or Ryan Howe. The conclusion of that story ended on the April 27 episode of OVW when Heidi announced that it was her sending the gifts to Hendrix because she cares about her. On the May 4 episode of OVW, Lovelace tried to express her feelings for Hendrix but ended up alone with Hendrix confused. On the May 31 episode of OVW, Lovelace (after being told by Taeler Hendrix that Trina had something against the two of them) confronted Trina and challenged her to a match for the Women's Title on the Saturday Night Special, which Trina accepted. The following day at OVW's Saturday Night Special, Trina reversed Lovelace's attempt of a hurricanrana into a powerbomb to retain her title. Lovelace then went on to feud with Taeler after finding out that Taeler was using her.
===Shine Wrestling (2012–2016)===
On August 17, 2012 it was announced that Prange would make her debut at the Shine Wrestling event called SHINE 2 under her ring name Heidi Lovelace. At the event, Lovelace faced fellow OVW wrestlers Sojournor Bolt and Taeler Hendrix in a three-way match, which was won by Bolt. On November 16, at SHINE 5, Lovelace was defeated by Sassy Stephie in a singles match. On February 22, 2013 at SHINE 7, Lovelace was defeated by Brittney Savage. On May 24, Lovelace teamed with Luscious Latasha and Solo Darling to take on Sojournor Bolt, Sassy Stephie and Jessie Belle Smothers in a six–women tag team match, in which her team lost. Lovelace's losing streak continued at SHINE 15 when she was defeated by Mercedes Martinez in singles action.
During SHINE 16 on January 24, 2014, her losing streak ended after being confirmed as the newest member of the The All Star Squad (ASS) faction run by Daffney, after forming a tag team with fellow ASS member Solo Darling called The Buddy System and defeated The S-N-S Express (Sassy Stephie and Jessie Belle Smothers).
===Chikara (2013–2016)===
On May 18, 2013, Lovelace made her debut for Chikara, when she and Saturyne entered the 2013 Tag World Grand Prix. They were, however, eliminated in their first round match by Arik Cannon and Darin Corbin. On December 6, 2014, in the pre-show of the Tomorrow Never Dies iPPV, Lovelace defeated Missile Assault Ant in the finals of a tournament to win the Chikara Young Lions Cup. She went on to defend her Young Lions Cup multiple times in 2015, remaining undefeated in the year. With a new Young Lions Cup champion being determined in 2016, Heidi will officially "retire" as champion having never been defeated.
Also in 2015, Heidi took part in the "Challenge of the Immortals" tournament, which was a season long double round-robin event. She was drafted to Dasher Hatfield's team, christened "Dasher's Dugout", which also included Dasher's fellow Throwbacks teammate "Mr. Touchdown" Mark Angelosetti, and then Chikara Grand Championship holder, Icarus. Their team led in points for much of the tournament, before ultimately forfeiting their points due to it being revealed that "Mr. Touchdown" had been cheating late in the tournament, by giving Dasher a secretly "loaded" elbow pad. Even so, Dasher and Heidi took part in the season closing Torneo Cibernetico Sixteen Person Match together.
On Saturday, March 19, 2016 Heidi received a title shot at the CHIKARA Grand Championship against fellow female wrestler Princess Kimber Lee in Gibsonville, North Carolina at the Mid-Atlantic Sportatorium. During the introductions, the crowd threw roses of various colors into the ring as a sign of respect. Kimber would retain the championship after escaping the Chikara Special submission and then locking on a bow and arrow style submission that contorted Heidi to the point she had to tap (she had suffered neck damage due to the double digit German suplexes she sustained over the course of the match). The two embraced and were adorned with a standing ovation and another ovation as they were in the lobby.
===Beyond Wrestling (2014–2016)===
Heidi made her first appearance at St. Louis Sleeper Cell on February 9, 2014. After losing to Brian Fury at When Satan Rules His World on April 26, 2015, Heidi unexpectedly turned heel at Beyond Wrestling The Real Thing on May 31 by Superkicking Kimber Lee after Chris Dickinson had interfered in Kimber Lee's match with Shynron, thus joining Team Pazuzu. In a video posted to Beyond Wrestling's YouTube channel, Heidi explained that her motivation was perceived favoritism shown by the promotion to Kimber Lee.
===World Wonder Ring Stardom (2015)===
On January 11, 2015, Lovelace made her Japanese debut for the World Wonder Ring Stardom promotion, teaming with Act Yasukawa in a tag team match, where they defeated Hudson Envy and Kris Wolf. On January 18, Lovelace, Yasukawa and Dragonita were forced to join the Monster-gun stable, after being defeated by Envy, Wolf and the stable's leader Kyoko Kimura in a six-woman tag team match. Following the addition of the new members, Monster-gun was renamed Oedo Tai. On February 8, Lovelace, Dragonita and Envy unsuccessfully challenged Heisei-gun (Io Shirai, Mayu Iwatani and Takumi Iroha) for the Artist Of Stardom Championship.
===World Wrestling Entertainment (2017–2021)===
====NXT (2017)====
On January 4, 2017, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) announced that Prange had signed with the company and would be reporting to the WWE Performance Center. On January 13, Lovelace made her in-ring debut at an NXT live event, losing to Daria Berenato. On February 23, she was given her NXT ring name of 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.
====Smackdown (2017-2018)====
On the November 21 edition of Smackdown, Riot led former NXT wrestlers Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan in attacking Naomi and Becky Lynch backstage. They later attacked Charlotte Flair and Natalya during a Women's title match. As a result of these attacks on the Smackdown women's division, the trio of Riot, Logan and Morgan quickly established themselves as heels during their main roster debut. The next week, Riot's ring name was tweaked to Ruby Riott. During the November 28 edition of Smackdown, referred to as the Riott Squad, they wrestled against Charlotte Flair, Naomi and Natalya in a six-person tag match, marking their first official match as team. The match soon became a handicap tag match after Natalya deserted her team, leaving Flair and Naomi to wrestle. As the match progressed, Charlotte Flair was left to wrestle alone after the Riot Squad injured Naomi outside of the ring. The match concluded with Ruby Riott securing the pin on Flair. Riott continued her feud with Flair, including a triple-threat match involving Carmella at the 2017 Tribute To The Troops, won by Flair. During the December 12th episode of Smackdown, Riott and her squad met Charlotte Flair in a supposed singles match until the Riott Squad joined in to assault Flair, resulting in a disqualification against Riott before the Squad crossed paths with Flair's allies Naomi, Carmella, Tamina and Lana. Seven days later during the December 19, Riott and teammate Sarah Logan met Flair and Naomi in a tag match in which they lost. Ruby Riot avenged her team's defeat in a singles match victory over Naomi during the December 26th episode of Smackdown. During the early months of 2018, Riott and the Squad continued their feud against the Smackdown women's roster, leading to WrestleMania, where the Riott Squad joined in the Kickoff show's Women's Battle Royal won by Naomi.
====Raw (2018-2020)====
After the first night of the 2018 WWE Superstar Shake-up held on the April 16th edition of Monday Night RAW, Riott and the Squad were drafted to the Raw brand. Seven nights later on the April 23rd edition of Raw, Riott's first match was with her Riott Squad teammates along with Alexa Bliss and Mickie James in a five-on-five tag match defeating Bayley, Ember Moon, Natalya, Nia Jax & Sasha Banks by disqualification.
====Smackdown (2020-2021)====
Riott wrestled briefly on the Smackdown roster, beginning on the December 11 episode of Smackdown, teaming with her Riott Squad ally Liv Morgan in defeating Billie Kay & Natalya in a tag match. She wrestled her final match on the May 28, 2021 episode of Smackdown where Riott and Liv Morgan lost a tag match against Natalya & Tamina. On June 2, Riott was released alongside a handful of talent including Braun Strowman, Aleister Black, Lana, Buddy Murphy and Santana Garrett. News of Riott's release was met with tremendous outpouring of tributes from the fans.
===All Elite Wrestling (2021-present)===
Under the ring name Ruby Soho, she made her pay-per-view debut third annual All Out, going on to win the annual Casino Royal match. She made her television debut on the September 8 episode of AEW Dynamite, defeating Jamie Hayter. During the September 22 episode of AEW Dynamite, she wrestled her first title match against Dr. Britt Baker DMD for the AEW Women's World Championship but did not succeed in winning the title on that occasion. On the October 23 episode of AEW Dynamite, Soho advanced in the opening round of the AEW TBS Championship Tournament after eliminating Penelope Ford. She advanced in the quarter final held during the December 1 episode of AEW Dynamite after eliminating Kris Statlander.
