WWE Superstar Ronda Rousey has joined Season 3 of “9-1-1” in a fiery recurring role, Fox confirmed to TheWrap Thursday.

The former UFC standout — who recently lent her voice as Sonya Blade in “Mortal Kombat 11” — will play Lena, “a fearless member of the LAFD’s Station 136.”

Fox dropped a trailer for the third season of the Ryan Murphy first-responder drama Wednesday, featuring the Station 118 crew struggling to keep their heads above water as they face a tsunami at the Santa Monica Pier. (Yes, you read that right.)
