Ronda Rousey nearly loses finger while shooting 9-1-1 for FOX

Former WWE Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey nearly lost her finger while shooting an episode of FOX’s 9-1-1.

Ronda Rousey is taking a break from WWE, but she’s staying busy having taken on a role on the FOX drama, 9-1-1. And on Tuesday, Rousey revealed a pretty gruesome injury she suffered on set.

Rousey posted on Instagram on Tuesday displaying her mangled finger. She wrote in the comments what happened.

"“So the word is out I nearly lost my finger shooting @911onfox. Freak accident, first take of the day a boat door fell on my hand, I thought I just jammed my fingers so I finished the take before looking (I know it sounds crazy, but I’m used to live audiences and never showing pain unless I’m supposed to) after a break in the action I told our director the situation and was rushed via ambulance to the hospital where they promptly reattached my bone and tendon with a plate and screws. I returned to filming the next day and finished my scenes before returning home to recover. Modern medicine amazes me, I already had 50% range of motion back in 3 days. There’s so much more than I can write here, stayed tuned via @rondarouseydotcom for the full story. And of course tune in to see how well I can act like my finger didn’t just fall off in this upcoming season of @911onfox”"

There is also a photo of said finger on the Instagram post, but due to its graphic nature, we have opted not to share it here.

Rousey is still signed to the Raw brand of WWE, although she hasn’t been seen or heard from since losing her belt to Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 35 in April. The WWE Universe welcomed Rousey with open arms when she joined the show in 2018, but by the end of her tenure as champion, she was no longer a fan favorite.

There is no word on when or if she will return to WWE on air, but at this point, WWE will have to wait until her finger is fully healed from surgery anyway.
