Ronda Rousey breaks down over life in the WWE

WWE superstar Ronda Rousey has broken down in tears after an incredibly emotional week.

Speaking in a Thanksgiving Day video, the WWE Raw Women’s Champion, broke down discussing the loss of a treasured animal while she was on the road with the wrestling company.

The 31-year-old had just returned home to her farm after a long stint away, to discover her pet goat Rio, who she described as her “little baby”, had been taken by coyotes.

“When I came back from Raw the other night, I saw that Rio got taken by coyotes,” she said.

“He was my poor little baby. I bottle fed him … I just feel like it’s all my fault, the only reason we leave in the middle of the afternoon is because everyone’s coming to see me.

“I f***ing love that goat. He was my little baby.”

The former UFC superstar was clearly rattled by the loss, with the pressures of life away from her family clearly starting to take their toll.

Rousey has often struggled with her stature in the fight world, particularly after her shocking UFC title fight loss to Holly Holm in 2015.

The scrutiny and social media-hate she faced following her sudden fall from superstardom in the UFC essentially forced the wrestling champion to hide away and withdraw from public life altogether.

Judging from her recents comments, it’s clear she’d love to throw it all in again and settle down on her farm with her UFC star husband Travis Browne.

“Sometimes I feel like I can’t do it all,” Rousey said in the video.

“I have to pick one thing. I can’t wrestle forever because I feel like I’m failing my family even something like a little f***ing goat, we would have been here and it wouldn’t have happened.

“I wouldn’t be leaving home unless it was to do the most fantastic things ever and I really, really do enjoy it and love it, but all that energy I spend on the WWE is energy I don’t spend on my family.”

Rousey is set to defend her WWE title on December 16.
