Ronda Rousey has not appeared on WWE programming ever since her match at WrestleMania 35, and one of the reasons why the former MMA fighter has been absent is because she received a hand injury during the match. On The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last night, Rousey appeared to discuss her voice role in the new Mortal Kombat 11 video game. Her hand was still in a cast, and she took the time to explain to the host how exactly she received the injury during her match. Rousey has also said that she is currently on an “impregnation vacation” and may actually never return to the ring for another match. However, WWE confirmed earlier this year that she is under contract with the company until 2021.
“I need to get better at faking it. This [injury] is from the main event of WrestleMania. There was a point in the match where I was teasing that I was going to throw a girl through a table and then I went, ‘Tables are for b—-es!’ And I threw the table. … I was coming in hot, and I started punching and sometimes you catch a pinky with an elbow. I remember looking at my hand and seeing I had six knuckles. I was like, ‘Man, I have to punch so much more after this.” Rousey said.
Carmella is still competing on SmackDown alongside R-Truth, and she has the chance to win the Money in the Bank briefcase once again when she competes in the ladder match at the pay-per-view of the same name later this month. It appears that Carmella is bringing back one of her classic looks just in time for the match. Carmella just revealed on Instagram that she has gone back to being blonde. The former SmackDown Women’s Champion sported blonde hair throughout much of her WWE career before dropping the color last year. Now that Carmella has her old look back, perhaps she can go back to her winning ways and become a champion in WWE once again, but she will have to win the ladder match in order to do that.
She’s baaaaaack. ??????

Before AJ Styles became a top star and a world champion for New Japan Pro Wrestling or WWE, he spent several years competing for TNA Wrestling. Although Styles was considered a “TNA Original” and became a top star during his time with the promotion, he has been critical of TNA in recent years. After fans began mocking the designs of some of the shirts that Styles had while he wrestled for TNA, the former WWE Champion fired back with a tweet noting that TNA came up with worse ideas than just his shirt designs. Styles appeared on the very first TNA show in 2002 and kept wrestling for the promotion until he left in 2013. He signed a new multi-year contract with WWE back in March of this year.
I wish I could tell u this was the worst thing TNA has ever come up with. https://t.co/TX5BdpFzVx
