Rousey will face Amanda Nunes at UFC 207 on Dec. 30. Both the prolific fighter and UFC president Dana White are in agreement that the 29-year-old fighter does not have much time left in the Octagon.
The path between UFC and WWE is a well trodden one. Rousey made an appearance on Wrestlemania 30 alongside the Rock. She is a public fan of the WWE, and her nickname 'Rowdy' is a tribute to former WWE superstar Roddy Piper.
In his role as WWE's executive vice president of talent, Triple H would have a say on whether or not Rousey should be recruited at the company.
"Never say never with us. Ronda's done things with us in the past. She's a huge fan. She had a blast when she did it," Triple H told media during the launch of WWE's United Kingdom Championship Tournament.
"I wouldn't be surprised at all if, as she begins to wrap up her UFC career, as she's looking to do other things, if we're a part of that conversation for her," Triple H added.
Another UFC star, Conor McGregor, is also being linked with a switch to the WWE. His agent Audie Attar revealed in November that McGregor would be willing to listen to offers from the company.
Triple H has, however, poured water on the speculations but admitted that he would be open to having a discussion over a possible deal.
"He is a business man. I am a business man. If the time is right for us to sit at the table, then we will discuss it," the former World Heavyweight Champion said.
One of the professionals that has made the switch is former Germany international Tim Wiese. He made his debut in Germany in September but has not appeared since then. Triple H revealed that he has conversations with the ex-goalkeeper about his future in the WWE and on the level of commitment expected from him.
