Gable Steveson In WWE
Gable Steveson’s residence in Apple Valley, Minnesota is close to St. Paul. He is often seen at WWE events in Minnesota. The Olympic gold medallist signed with WWE in September earlier this year. He was drafted to the Raw brand in October but is yet to make his in-ring debut for the show.
Officials expect Steveson to become a full-time roster member after graduating from the University of Minnesota in 2022. His interaction with the former WWE champion on Raw was still very interesting. We will have to see if it leads to a future on-screen partnership between the two.
