1. When Ronda Rousey Broke Her Hand At WrestleMania 35

"Oh, you guys want tables? Yeah? Tables are for bitches!", yelled Ronda Rousey before flipping the wood and pummelling Becky Lynch with some punches in the corner. That WrestleMania 35 spot gave us the ideal .GIF for an article looking at 'Mania's hidden gems, and it also fired Rousey up enough that she didn't notice how hard she was hitting.

Two or three strikes into her attack on Becky, Ronda struck Lynch's elbow with her pinkie finger.

That's when she broke her hand in the main event. On 'The Late Show' with Stephen Colbert, Rousey nervously laughed as she recanted the spot nobody knew about. Going in, she hadn't told WWE, Lynch or Charlotte Flair she'd be flipping the table and calling fans "bitches". Once she did, Rousey was full of adrenaline.

When that buzz wore off, she realised something was wrong with her hand. She couldn't move her pinkie finger, and the entire right side of her fist was starting to swell. Just think, if she was hitting Becky that hard, then 'The Man' wasn't selling in the corner.
