WWE alumnus Leon Ruff and his wife, WWE referee Daphanie LaShaunn, were involved in a car accident earlier this week. Ruff posted to his Instagram to share photos of their vehicle and give an update on the two. He wrote:
“Earlier today, my wife and I were rear-ended on the road. We just got home from the hospital and we’re both sore and shaken up. I’m alright, but Aja is hurting more than I am. Unfortunately, the car is totaled.
If anyone has any connections to bookers or upcoming shows, I’d truly appreciate the opportunity to pick up some extra bookings.
Please drive safe and always wear your seatbelt.”
It appears from the photos that Ruff and LaShaunn were rear-ended. You can see the post below.
Ruff is a former member of the WWE NXT roster. He had a run with the NXT North American Championship, defeating Johnny Gargano for the title in November of 2020. He lost it back to Gargano in a triple threat match at NXT Takeover: WarGames a few weeks later. He was released in August the next year.
On behalf of 411, our best wishes to Ruff and LaShaunn for a quick and full recovery.
