Ronda Rousey's professional wrestling career got off to a hot start at WrestleMania 34 earlier this month, but the best is yet to come according to a World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) legend.

Paul 'Triple H' Levesque played a major role in recruiting the former UFC champion to the WWE, then got a first-hand glimpse of her athletic prowess.

The 48 year-old full time wrestler turned WWE executive was the chief negotiator in Rousey's contract with the sports entertainment powerhouse, acting in his professional role as Executive Vice President of Talent relations.

On camera, 'Triple H' shared the ring with Rousey in New Orleans, alongside his wife, Stephanie McMahon in a losing effort against the former Olympic bronze medallist and WWE Hall of Fame icon, Kurt Angle.

Rousey thrilled the 76,000 strong crowd, showing off her newly found wrestling ability, tremendous timing and an ability to make everything she did look 'real'.

Levesque, speaking from Saudi Arabia ahead of the Greatest Royal Rumble event, told Newshub that the sky is the limit for Rousey's career.

"I can't think of a more meaningful, more successful and more impactful professional wrestling debut of anybody in history," Levesque said.

"She woke a lot of people up and made them realise that Ronda Rousey wants to be a WWE superstar for a long time to come.

"She is dedicated to this; she is 24/7 in this. She is a machine when it comes to training and focus and I have no doubt in my mind that she will be great at this."
