Stephanie McMahon wants Ronda Rousey to join WWE when she calls time on her UFC career.

Rousey says her impending bout with Amanda Nunes at UFC 207 on December 30 will 'definitely be one of my last fights' before adding 'the show isn't going to be around forever'.

The 29-year-old made an appearance at WrestleMania 31 in March 2015, throwing McMahon and her husband, Triple H, out of the ring and then later tweeting: "We're just gettin' started..."

'I'm certainly going to try to get her," WWE Raw boss McMahon said of Rousey, who takes her "Rowdy" nickname from the late WWE legend "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, on TMZ.

"I certainly hope [we get her]. I've got to get her back after she put me in that arm bar!"

McMahon also reflected on Sunday's history-making Women's Hell in a Cell Match between Charlotte and Sasha Banks for the Raw Women's championship.

The bout was the first for women inside the Hell in a Cell structure, while it also marked the first time a female encounter had main-evented a WWE pay-per-view.

"They [Charlotte and Sasha] made history," she added. "I was overwhelmed to watch them tear the house down.

"The goal would be to have the women main event WrestleMania at some point in time - whether that's five years from now, 10 years from now, they are going to make it happen."

Triple H, meanwhile, has rewarded Chicago Cubs for their triumph in Major League Baseball's Word Series - the side defeating Cleveland Indians to end a 108-year wait for the title.

The Game, a 14-time world champion in WWE, has sent the Cubs a custom-made WWE World Championship after the Wrigley Field outfit won Wednesday's decider.

Triple H wrote on Twitter: "Congrats to the Chicago @Cubs on a long-awaited (and well-deserved) #WorldSeries win. We got you something for the celebration... #EnjoyIt"

Triple H had previously sent a custom WWE World Title to Chicago Blackhawks in June 2015 after they won their sixth National Hockey League Stanley Cup.
