Colby Covington confirms WWE talks amid Real American Freestyle push

Colby Covington has confirmed he’s had conversations with WWE’s Chief Content Officer Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque about a possible future with the company.

The former UFC title contender, now 3-0 in Real American Freestyle wrestling, told Brian Mazique he’s all-in on R.A.F. but hasn’t ruled out a return to MMA or even WWE down the line. **Covington’s next fight: against Arman Tsarukyan: takes place on July 18.**

What did Covington say about WWE?

Covington told Mazique he’s explored options beyond R.A.F., including a return to the UFC for big fights. But he stressed his focus is on the new discipline. **“R.A.F. is definitely somewhere I see myself ending my competitive career at,” he said.** He added that talks with Triple H and WWE are “a potential possibility in the future,” though he’s invested in R.A.F. and owns a small equity stake.

The 38-year-old hasn’t ruled out a return to MMA either. **“Whether I entertain other fight offers and go back to the UFC and get some big fights, those are still possibilities,” he said.** Covington framed the uncertainty as part of the journey, saying he controls only what he can today: hard training and preparing for Tsarukyan.

Why does this matter for Covington’s career?

Covington’s pivot to R.A.F. marks a bold shift from the Octagon to the wrestling mat. His 3-0 record in the new sport shows immediate success, but his comments about WWE open another door. **Triple H’s role at WWE: overseeing creative and talent relations: makes any talks significant.** Covington’s willingness to explore multiple paths highlights his ambition beyond one discipline.

The timing also matters. With his next fight just days away, Covington is balancing immediate competition with long-term plans. **His investment in R.A.F. signals commitment, but his openness to WWE suggests he’s not locking himself into one future.**

What’s next for Colby Covington?

Covington’s immediate focus is Arman Tsarukyan on July 18. **A win would extend his momentum in R.A.F., while a loss could refocus his path.** Beyond that, he’s left the door open for UFC returns or even WWE, depending on opportunities.

He also hinted at keeping his options fluid. **“You never know what the future holds and what tomorrow holds,” he said.** For now, Covington is training hard and preparing for Tsarukyan, with bigger decisions likely after that fight.

How does this fit into Covington’s legacy?

Covington’s career has always been defined by unpredictability. From welterweight contender to R.A.F. competitor, he’s embraced new challenges. **His talks with WWE add another layer to his post-UFC narrative.** Whether he lands in wrestling, MMA, or entertainment, Covington’s willingness to explore every avenue keeps his story fresh.

For fans, the next few months could redefine his career. **A UFC return would bring him back to familiar territory. A WWE deal would shift him into uncharted territory.** Either way, Covington’s next move will shape how his legacy is remembered.
