The WWE is reportedly interested in working with UFC's Ronda Rousey and the Four Horsewomen after they appeared at SummerSlam alongside MMA fighter Jon Jones on Aug. 17 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Wrestlingheadlines.com reports that there were ideas floated around to have Rousey and the Four Horsewomen make an appearance at another pay-per-view in some capacity, but it fell on deaf ears because the main decision makers in WWE don't follow the UFC and don't know much about what's going on there.
Despite that, there are reports that the WWE may make some kind of offer to Rousey in the future as she is a known fan of the product and could generate a lot of buzz due to her dominance in UFC as the women's bantamweight champion.

UFC president Dana White has reportedly not been a fan of the idea of Rousey being used by the WWE or any of his stars appearing with the company.
Rousey and the Four Horsewomen appeared alongside Stephanie McMahon after she defeated Brie Bella at SummerSlam with the help of Nikki Bella and helped her take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.
"Yes, of course I'm here to accept the challenge," McMahon told Maria Menounos when asked if she'd accepted the challenge. "We are at the Staples Center where we just had SummerSlam, and since I defeated my challenger tonight Brie Bella, handily I might add, I figured I would accept the challenge of Maria Menounos to help spread the word about ALS and most importantly to give a donation. I've already given a donation earlier today and now I'm here to take the challenge and help spread the word."
She then acknowledged the Four Horsewomen.
"But to make it even more epic, we have invited UFC champion 'Rowdy' Ronda Rousey and the Four Horsewomen," McMahon said.
McMahon then made her challenges before the cold water was dumped over her.
"Since WrestleMania 31 will be emanating from Levi's Stadium, I will have to challenge the entire San Francisco 49ers football team. I will also challenge the entire cast of Total Divas as well as every member of the WWE Universe. And make sure you send in your challenges to #SmackDownALS."
After Rousey's appearance at the biggest show of the summer, the WWE may try to get her to agree to a deal with them down the line.
