4 Superstars Triple H Convinced to Join WWE

#1 Ronda Rousey

Ronda Rousey joined WWE in 2018

Before Ronda Rousey joined WWE in 2018, rumors flooded the internet with fans speculating the debut of Rousey at the Royal Rumble. Weeks before her debut, Triple H and Ronda had dinner together which almost confirmed the UFC Superstar's arrival in WWE. However, the former Raw Women’s Champion denied claims of her joining WWE and kept it a secret.

A week later, she finally made her long-awaited debut in WWE after Asuka won Women’s Royal Rumble match. As part of a storyline, Ronda signed a contract with them at Elimination Chamber, where she also began her feud with Stephanie McMahon and Triple H. After her debut, the Rowdy One told this to ESPN:

This is my life now. First priority on my timeline for the next several years. This is not a smash-and-grab; this is not a publicity stunt. When I first met with Triple H, I told him, 'There are other things I can do with my time that'll make way more money, but I won't enjoy nearly as much.'
