Former UFC champion and WWE Superstar Ronda Rousey on Tuesday reported via her Instagram page that she nearly lost her finger while filming on the set of “9-1-1,” a Fox television series. Rousey has a recurring role in the upcoming season of “9-1-1.”
The injury apparently happened on the first day of filming, though Rousey didn't go into detail about the timeline of when the filming occurred. She did, however, give a detailed explanation of how the injury happened and her quick recovery.
"So the word is out I nearly lost my finger shooting 9-1-1 (on FOX). 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," she explained.
"I returned to filming the next day and finished my scenes before returning home to recover. Modern medicine amazes me, I already had 50 percent range of motion back in 3 days. There’s so much more than I can write here. Stayed tuned via rondarousey.com 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 9-1-1."
