One More: Gable Steveson Makes Big Announcement About Future In Wrestling

He’s still in. Wrestlers can come from all different backgrounds, as they can be dveloped from almost any sport. While football has a long history of producing wrestlers, the most logical place to go is amateur wrestling. WWE has had quite the success rate with former amateur wrestlers over the years, but now they might be missing one of their biggest prospects for a long time.

Back in 2021, WWE signed Gable Steveson to a contract. Steveson has since appeared for the company a few times, but has never actually wrestled a professional match. This week, Steveson announced that he is returning to amateur wrestling. Steveson has registered for the US Open later this month, which could be used as a stepping stone for the 2024 Olympics. There is no word on what this means for his WWE career or when he might make his in-ring debut. WWE was not mentioned in the announcement.

Opinion: Steveson is still very young at 22 years old, but it is coming off more and more like he has no interest in professional wrestling. At the very least, it seems fairly low on his priority list as he seems willing to wait at least another few months, if not more than a year, before he gets started. A potential return to the Olympics would be a huge delay in his WWE training but that might be where we are heading.
