Ronda Rousey's appearance at WWE's WrestleMania 38 on Saturday night didn't come without some controversy. Rumors had flared over the star wrestler reportedly “walking out” of Friday's Hall of Fame event in a fit of rage after discovering she would no longer be the headlining event. Rousey took to Twitter Sunday morning to shut down any rumors of her throwing a fit, and sharing her side of the story.
I don’t know where these “reports” come from but it was an absolute honor to perform under Steve Austin at Wrestlemania in Texas-I wasn’t a hall of fame because I have a six month old baby I had to put to sleep early. People are literally creating drama out of thin air

Rousey claimed that she wasn't in attendance at the Hall of Fame ceremony on Friday because she had to attend to her six-month-old daughter. She called it an “honor” to perform under the legendary WWE star Steve Austin on Saturday, before blasting people for “creating drama out of thin air.”

Rousey publicly said earlier in the week, via the Ellen DeGeneres show, that her bout with Charlotte Flair would be the concluding showdown at Saturday's WrestleMania event. Things changed, however, when WWE legend “Stone Cold” Steve Austin was added to the lineup, claiming the final fight of the night, and rightfully so.
Rumors surfaced that Rousey was not thrilled about being bumped from the final fight of the evening, though she claims that was far from the case. While she did in fact skip out on the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, Rousey alleges it was in order to put her child to sleep, not over some grudge about the timing of her fight.
Rousey lost in her return to the WWE, getting defeated by Charlotte Flair. With her name getting thrown around headlines, the 35-year-old took to social media to clear the air.
