Former WWE star Leon Ruff took to Instagram to share that he and his wife, WWE referee Daphanie LaShaunn, were involved in a car accident earlier this week. Ruff posted some photos of their vehicle along with an update on their condition.
This is what Leon Ruff 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 involved in a rear-end collision. Ruff is a former member of the WWE NXT roster, where he had a notable run as the NXT North American Champion. He won the title from Johnny Gargano in November 2020, but lost it back to Gargano in a triple threat match during NXT Takeover: WarGames a few weeks later. Ruff was released from WWE in August of the following year.
