She then added that she burst into tears when Triple H showed concern and asked her how she was dealing with things. 

She wrote, "I burst into tears. Not just crying, but bawling. 'I’m so tired,' I said. 'I’m so tired that I feel like it’s changing my personality. I’m so much more anxious, stressed, negative, like butter scraped over too much bread.”


 

Rousey expressed frustration over not receiving the same treatment as top WWE stars like Brock Lesnar, Logan Paul, and Roman Reigns, who were regularly provided with special accommodations and privileges by the company. Ultimately, Ronda Rousey conceded defeat to Shayna Baszler at SummerSlam and made her exit.
