Is Gable Steveson Headed To WWE?

Steveson has not been shy about his intensions to join WWE after his amateur wrestling career concludes.
Steveson also attended the University of Minnesota and trained with alumni Brock Lesnar.
“My relationship with Brock has been awesome,” Steveson said to Gopher Sports. “It’s outstanding that a guy like that has noticed me and has gone out of his way to be there for me and guide me in the right direction. We all know who Brock is on TV, but behind everything else, he is a nice person and he has done some amazing things for me.”
In the same interview, he would talk about WWE being a life-long dream.
“This is a dream I’ve had since I was a kid. Everybody grew up watching WWE when they were young, I know I watched it. It’s just been a lifelong dream of mine.”
Steveson’s brother Bobby has already started training at the WWE Performance Center.
