Maybe he isn’t done? There is a stigma when it comes to professional wrestlers that they are not real athletes. While this is easy to refute based on simply watching a match, the other way to solve it involves having more mainstream sports represented in wrestling. That often involves amateur wrestling stars moving to the professional ranks, but that might not be the case so soon.

In an interview with the Pioneer Press, University of Minnesota wrestling coach Brandon Eggum said that Gable Steveson would like to return to the university for his senior season. Steveson retired from amateur wrestling following his junior season, when he won his second Danny Hodge Trophy and second NCAA Heavyweight Championship. Steveson is also signed to WWE and appeared at Summerslam and WrestleMania 38. He was expected to begin on the WWE roster full time following his junior season but he has not appeared on WWE TV since WrestleMania. There is no word on if Steveson will be returning to the university.

Opinion: Assuming Steveson does return to college wrestling, it would be quite the hit to WWE, as they seem to have quite the plans for him. Steveson is a talent that you do not see show up very often and it would be a shame to see his time in WWE delayed by another year. I’m sure that WWE would be willing to wait on him as he is too good to pass up, but that is a long time to wait.

What do you think of Steveson? What should he do in WWE? Let us know in the comments below.
