Ronda Rousey was scared of two things before making her WWE comeback at the 2022 Royal Rumble.

"The Baddest" answered some fan questions during a Facebook live stream, and didn't hold back. When someone asked if Ronda was worried about getting back into ring shape after having a child, she said she was - actually, she was "scared" of being judged for her body.

Rousey didn't feel comfortable enough to wear her old ring gear at the Rumble. Instead, she went for a covered-up look and ditched the shorts. That was a comfort thing, because Ronda feared she'd get some cruel feedback on social media if she didn't cover up.

Also, Rousey was afraid to wear that white t-shirt 24 hours after the pay-per-view on Raw. Why? Well, she was worried she'd lactate on live television and embarrass herself. These little fears all built up in Ronda's head during her WWE comeback run.

She wasn't concerned about kicking ass physically or anything like that. No, Rousey was only fretting about her physical appearance and the thought that wearing white might be a mistake.

Everything worked out though.
