Ronda Rousey Discusses The Hardest Part Of Being WWE Superstar And Reveals A Severe Injury

There’s a lot of people who believe Ronda Rousey might return to the ring sometime soon. Given that she’s been spotted training with her husband and Cowboy James Storm, many people think her return might be sooner than expected.

Of course Ronda had had her share of mishap since taking her hiatus from the WWE. Rousey almost lost a finger filming the FOX show 9-1-1 and now it seems another thing is holding her back from returning to the ring.

Rousey recently spoke to Digital Spy, revealing she is dealing with a pretty nasty injury while discussing the most difficult part about being a WWE Superstar. Rousey told the site the bottom vertebrae in her back is broken in half, and that might actually be a contributing factor as to why she’s yet to make her return to the WWE.

“I love wrestling but I think it was maybe Sarah Rowe (Sarah Logan) who told me this, she wrestles for free but they pay her to travel. The hardest part I think was just not being able to lay down horizontally, you know. Taking a bunch of hard bumps, your back hurts and you just want to lay down.”

“All I wanted to do between shows is lay down with my legs up and traveling you’re just sitting upright all the time and my back would kill me. So the actual act of traveling I do not miss it all, it was the absolute worse.”

“My bottom vertebrae in my back is actually broken in half. So that has something to do with it. But traveling on a broken back is the absolute worst. I love being home on my extra firm Tempur-Pedic mattress every night.”

An injury like that doesn’t just hamper your in-ring performance but your quality of life. Hopefully Ronda can heal up so we can see her back in the ring sometime soon. Even if we don’t, Rousey certainly has every right to put her health and well being ahead of professional wrestling and that can’t be debated.
