The WWE debut of Gable Steveson may not be a long wait.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that the plan is for Steveson to become a regular on WWE TV once his collegiate sports career wraps up at the end of March. The company reportedly wants the Olympic gold medalist to be featured prominently at WrestleMania 38 in April 2022.
Gable Stevenson was drafted to WWE’s Raw brand earlier this month. Over the next few months, WWE will be looking to keep Gable Steveson fresh in the minds of WWE fans.
Naturally, there’s been a top of hype surrounding the blue chip prospect. Following Gable Stveson’s Olympic gold medal victory over Geno Petriashvili in freestyle wrestling, speculation began about his future. He helped stir the pot, speaking openly about his options. In addition to professional wrestling, Stevenson also considered going pro with the NFL and also the UFC.
Steveson hasn’t wrestled a match or even cut a promo for WWE, but people are already comparing him to fellow Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle.
Steveson is expected to graduate from college in May 2022. He will defend his NCAA Division I national championship at the University of Minnesota in his final year with the college.
