“I technically don’t think I am [under contract to WWE], but who knows? That’s a question for lawyers.”

She later said that she still exchanges messages with Stephanie McMahon, but hasn’t spoken to Triple H since before his recent surgery.

“I actually keep in touch with Steph because she’s sweet and we send each other baby pictures. I haven’t talked to Triple H since before he had his — he had heart surgery or something. I hope he’s alright.”

Ronda Rousey made her WWE in-ring debut at WrestleMania 34, when she and WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle faced off against Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. She remained in the company for a year before her decision to take time away. her original contract is said to have been a three-year deal with WWE.
