It’s been rumored that the WWE had 4 male Superstars in mind to be Ronda Rousey's partner for WrestleMania 34: The Rock, Kurt Angle, Shane McMahon and Seth Rollins. However, it sounds like WWE wanted another big name to team with Rousey at one point - former WWE Champion Batista.
Batista has made it well known throughout various interviews that he would like one last run with the company; and has highlighted that he would like to have another singles feud with Triple H.
Batista appeared at a convention last weekend and reportedly said WWE had talked to him about teaming with Rousey, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. No word yet on why no deal was reached but WWE ended up going with Angle and the two will face Triple H and Stephanie McMahon on Sunday in New Orleans.
