Cain Velasquez and Ronda Rousey were at the WWE Headquarters last week and a photo of them together was tweeted out by Velasquez.

As revealed by Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Vince McMahon reportedly freaked out over the tweet as Ronda Rousey's appearance at the WWE office was supposed to be kept a secret.

The former RAW Women's Champion was at the WWE HQ to fulfil a few meetings with different departments and a handful of people knew that she was coming to the office.

It was also added that Vince McMahon would have fired the person responsible for the leak had it not been Cain Velasquez, who didn't know about the protocol in this situation.

A source close to Meltzer revealed that the story about McMahon 'freaking out' may have been exaggerated as the people backstage were apparently laughing over the boss' reaction.

That photo caused quite the stir in the office as whatever the plan are for Rousey, her being in the office was supposed to be top secret to the point nobody was supposed to know but a few people, and that includes key people in the company as it was supposed to be that hush-hush. It was said by one person that Vince McMahon was freaking out badly over it knowing he couldn’t fire the “leaker” since it was Velasquez who didn’t know any better, but another said that was overblown and people were more laughing about it than freaking out about it
