Ronda Rousey realizes she broke her hand at WrestleMania: Total Divas, December 3, 2019
After the match, I walked over to my husband and sons. They didn't know my hand was broken. I still grabbed my boys' faces, kissed them, and told them how happy I was to be coming home. I promised to be there for them more and appreciated their sacrifices. At the trainer's office, I found out my knuckle was either dislocated or fractured. The bone wasn't sitting correctly. Despite the injury, I gave everything to that match and to this industry over the past year. It was worth it.
