Triple H is on tour with the WWE Raw brand in Europe, which has seen him become a part time member of The Shield as a replacement for Roman Reigns. Triple H is also a WWE executive in charge of talent, he’s part of the company’s creative team and sometimes he even talks to the media about everything that’s going on in WWE as well.
During an appearance on the show ‘Good Morning Britain,’ Triple H was asked about a number of big names including UFC’s biggest name Conor McGregor. Could he make his way into a WWE ring as has been rumored this year? Here’s what Triple H said about it:
“Conor McGregor has said a lot of stuff about WWE in the past. I don’t have a problem with him because he said I was the don, which is great. (Host laughs) He said a lot of stuff about our talent in the past and if he comes in it’s not going to be an easy go.”
It sounds like it’s possible down the road, but McGregor is likely going to focus on his UFC career. What Triple H was referring to about Conor saying a lot of stuff about WWE talent is from last August when he called the WWE guys “pussies” among other things. Then he apologized on Twitter with a fake apology and that led to a lot of WWE talent ripping on him for it.
Triple H was also asked about (former, we think) UFC star Ronda Rousey:
“She is very interested in our business, always has been. Huge fan, that’s where the ‘Rowdy’ Ronda came from. I think she’s interested in the opportunity and I’m interested in offering the opportunity, so we have some talking to do.”
Everything he said there is absolutely true and well known. Rousey is a fan that attended WrestleMania 31 in the past as well as the recent Mae Young Classic among other events in the last few years. As we reported on last week, WWE is planning to have Rousey team up with her Four Horsewomen buddies Shayna Baszler, Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir vs. WWE’s Four Horsewomen group of Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, Bayley and Becky Lynch at WrestleMania next year, but it’s not like Triple H is going to tell people that in a media interview. It was in September when WWE aired a clip of Rousey challenging Charlotte and others to a match.
Another big name that Triple was asked about was his arguably his greatest rival during his WWE career, The Rock:
“You know, Dwayne and I started our careers together and I probably fought him more than anybody. I’d love to dance with the ‘Great One’ one more time.”
I think a lot of us would love to see that. The Rock would love it too since he was recently asked about it and he named Triple H as one of his three possible opponents along with Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns. Will it happen? Never say never in the wrestling business. We all know that is true.
