Not Yet: Update On Gable Steveson's WWE Future (It Might Be Awhile)

During an interview with FloWrestling.com, Olympic gold medal winner and WWE star Gable Steveson said that he plans to use his final year of eligibility for college wrestling at the University of Minnesota next year. Steveson signed with WWE in 2021 but has yet to have his debut match.

Opinion: At this point, it’s becoming a reasonable question to wonder if Steveson will ever actually have a significant WWE career. His gold medal was about two years ago now and unless he wins another, I’m not sure how much of an impact it is going to have. At the end of the day, Steveson just hasn’t done anything in WWE and while that means he hasn’t disappointed, he needs to actually do something in WWE at some point or it doesn’t matter what he did elsewhere.
